If they ban us for 1 year we’ll win every domestic trophy, it will be unprecedented.... oh wait... :-)

If they ban us fir 1 year we may lose many of our trophies. It’s shit or bust.

We are well and truly in the **** in the court of public opinion had talk sport on multiple ex managers and players talking of everyone leaving managers players. Then Rob Harris comes on and says we are trying to get off on a technicality of the emails being stolen and then saying how city fans seem to think they are being persecuted but look at all these other clubs who have been banned. Consensus in a lot of the media seems to be a reduction in ban. Basically ignoring what we actually said which is we are innocent

Rob Harris. The cnut’s cnut

The remote hearing, between #ManCity and UEFA lawyers, opened 07:00 GMT and is scheduled to last three days before closing on Wednesday evening.

CAS Secretary General, Matthieu Reeb: "The hearing has started well and the video conference is working well.”

I think that's a different issue.
UEFA need to adhere to business/employment law, and their rules are subject to challenge if desired.

Clubs must adhere to UEFA regulations.

uefa also need to adhere to uefa regulations. And the law.

As an arbitration service I think they may keep away from totally siding with one or the other. Handing down any ban is risky for UEFA - even if there is evidence to suggest it is appropriate - because court proceedings will be long and expensive and damaging to both sides and difficult to predict as it is sporting competition rules clashing with business law. I reckon they'll propose removing the ban and retaining a reduced fine so it isn't the final nail in the FFP coffin.

My understanding from Projectriver yesterday was that further legal challenge by City would be unlikely, so on that basis handing out a ban is of very little risk to UEFA.....indeed they’ve already done it!
