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

The emails are obviously real and true. But will obviously only be a partial view of the picture.

How would you know they were real & true.
I have been hacked before where my details on a company letterhead were sent to customers asking them to pay to a different account.
At the end of the day emails as evidence are worthless.

All well and good, but we are trying to discredit those emails, and if our owners haven’t been channeling money into the club via Etihad, then what better way to prove it....

I don't think we are trying to discredit those emails.

City can appeal on both the process and the facts of the case, so they don't need to say "here's proof UEFA were wrong", they can just say "Look how they've reached a judgement against us with evidence of wrongdoing"

I was just about to write that very post! It follows that it's no surprise how none of the forums experts are representing us at CAS

I don't see it as a bad thing that people want to discuss this monumental event in our club's history. I don't see it as a bad thing that people are trying to gain a greater understanding of what is a very complex issue. I don't see it as a bad thing that people are trying to offer theories about the legitimacy of our appeal to allay their fears. Nobody is forcing anyone to read the thread and if anyone finds it difficult to follow then they are free to leave without insulting those who wish to stay.

City has never denied that the emails are not true. We argued that they have been taken out of context.

I agree. The statement from City described them as "out of context" emails, not "fabricated". I am following on the assumption that they are genuine.

Probably because we've never claimed them not to be?

@hihosilva

This is from the clubs response - "out-of-context materials purportedly hacked or stolen"

A fake email can't be out of context.

The emails are real, and the club has admitted they are (although without spelling it out) in that description.

Not to mention if they were fake, that's the first thing the club would have said.
