UEFA FFP investigation - CAS decision to be announced Monday, 13th July 9.30am BST

[BringBackSwales]

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

Yes they are good at that, michel platini said so

 

[Boris Becker’s Backhand]

Come on City

What's the bet, if we start getting too much of an upper hand, then the video conferencing starts playing up or goes down altogether ;-)

first look at thread today
have Uefa taken their ball home yet, big kids like being back at school, im not playing if we can't win

They're having problems tying their shoelaces before they go apparently

No because City did provide the evidence of innocence and has stated so half a dozen times.

Yes but it's quite possible the evidence we have provided is our audited accounts. Which in itself is evidence of innocence.

The fact we appealed to CAS half way through the hearing shows clearly we were wary of the leaks and had no faith in the process.

I would hope we have more faith in the process at CAS, and there may well be more sensitive information we refused to provide to UEFA that we may well provide to CAS.

Would that not work in UEFA's favour though? Surely they would argue that is prove we were withholding information from their investigation (lack of cooperation)

Not if you had good reason to believe the (Sensitive) information was being systematically leaked to other UEFA members and in turn to the press.

That would depend if CAS found that we were justified in the belief that the process was not confidential. As I recall, one of the planks of the early appeal was the unsatisfactory response of the IC to our concerns which appear to have been summarily dismissed. I think the earlier hearing described this as "worrisome". However, at that point they may only have had our side of the story so that doesn't mean much.

My sense is we won't necessarily deny a lack of cooperation - of this accusation, we are guilty - but contextualise it as an unwillingness to share sensitive and highly confidential information with a recklessly leaky ship such as the UEFA IC. An issue which CAS has already stated they share our concerns about.

This will be part of painting a picture of the IC investigation as thoroughly compromised and untrustworthy from the off - therefore our actions were justified under the circumstances.
