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

[Citizen Green]

Funnily enough the Germans used to sign off their correspondence ‘HH’. Wait, are we the bad guys?

 

[Coatigan]

I stress nobody could surely know, but there is a growing rumour we may have had a major witness of a royal persuasion.

And it wasn't Prince Andrew.

Surely HH, whoever it needs to concern, would not get involved?

More likely to have been Khaldoon if anybody?

He isn't a royal, is he.

Perhaps one of the owners' brothers, who heads one of our sponsors?

obviously hypothetical based on the assumption its true

So she actually said HH and not “his highness”??

She wrote HH in an email meaning Sheikh Mansour.

Finally got that Hologram for the King working then..

I have seen Khaldoon as His Excellency in the https://eaa.gov.ae/en/docs/policy-agenda-2007-08.pdf but without Excellence in Mubadala

In a nutshell, I have to assume that unless City were supremely confident (having seen all of the written submissions and having taken advice) they would have done a deal at 1 year. As the stakes are so high for City there will always have been consideration of settling even if they felt they had not breached. So if City were supremely confident before CAS, then we should assume they will win. No guarantees of course but thats how I read it.

I would of thought this was City's last option nothing to do with confidence. If we were extremely confident I would of thought the best option would be to have this CAS case held in public so City could show UEFA up for producing fake evidence in banning City.

Queen Anne?

Queen Anne?

I believe she might be dead.

Is Excellency royalty though?

Not being pedantic, genuinely don't know.

I always thought Khaldoon was not a royal and is where he is because of his qualities and effort. Not that being a royal would in any way diminish those.

Needs both sides to agree to open hearing. Uefa no chance of doing that.
