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

Barclays vs PCP is a different ball game. Simon Pearce who wrote the leaked Aabar email was also the Special Advisor to the Chairman of the Executive Affairs Authority Of Abu Dhabi, so if EAA financed a part of the Aabar sponsorship, like they did with Etihad, HH could be a reference to Simons boss at EAA, His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi, Deputy Supreme Commander of the UAE Armed Forces and Chairman of the Abu Dhabi Executive Council.

Perhaps the deputy supreme commander provided a statement as wittness for the CAS hearing which irrefutably proves who helped Ethiad when the airline was in financial troubles. And afterwards HH went back in a home run to his house on the other side of the lake. Just a thought.

While SM is listed on the Mubadala website under Board of Directors as "His Highness" , so is MBZ, who is at the top. It does not therefore necessarily follow that SM is being referred to as "HH" in Simon Pearce's email. In any case, and we don't know this for sure, it may be that someone from Abu Dhabi testified at CAS that HH was indeed MBZ rather than SM. It would possibly be hinging partly as to whether the panel of judges accepts this.

You missed out Harry Houdini (it'll look like magic when we escape UEFA's grasp)

And Harry Hill; fi..................ght!

If he's got any type of limited information as to a verdict, I'm sure The Athletic would be publishing it.

Certainly not hedging his bets and essentially offering an opinion by saying he can see it being a year.

Perhaps those clowns Delaney and McGheegan gave him their opinion too.

I can imagine them just shouting "CITY ARE BAD" in his face until he cried and went home.

Hermans Hermits?

So we will know by Noone?

Sorry, I am not debating it anymore. It's (blindingly) obvious to me. If you wish to take a different view, by all means do so.

There are apparently two Sheikh Mansour's too!

One in Egypt and ours in Abu Dhabi.

Even Amanda is confused by it!

Well, its probably HH Sheikh Mansour, but it's not blindingly obvious, the reference today in the High Court to HH is irrelevant. But lets agree to disagree.

Maybe we can try that (losing) argument too!

I just hope our counsel didn't spend the majority of its time last week sipping water and cleaning their glasses.

My legal knowledge is confined to LA Law.

Ms Staveley, a credible witness, she does not make...

I obviously don't know the game as well you mate, but I can't (and fookin don't) for one second believe that if any of the usual suspects managed to get some bona-fide information, they'd keep it under their hats, they wouldn't be able to contain themselves, they'd be shouting it from the roof tops ?
