So if we have indeed done what we’re being accused of and over-inflating some sponsorship deals, which in turn has led to us paying more tax, does that mean we can get a rebate off the taxman? ;)
Cool story bro.Was also wondering about. It seems likely that UEFA saw the contracts with Etihad either under FFP or under the enhanced monitoring following the first settlement yet they are alleging that the money came from elsewhere and importantly I think directly from this other source thats certainly what it looks like in the emails. Cannot imagine contracts allowing this. Is not the insinuation that the contracts are fake. i guess we could have replaced the contracts with new ones allowing for the government to pay the funds and just not shown the new ones to UEFA. But fake contracts would be fraud right or of course we ar innocent and nothing changed and the emails are just out of context or wrong
I had an email exchange with UEFA referee supremo David Ellaray after our disallowed goal against Spurs. The law as applied by referees and VARs, and the explanation given by Swarbrick was inconsistent with that written in The Laws of the Game.They can try. Then UEFA can say that isn't the way Rule xxx works and CAS will decide whose case they prefer. Happens a lot in CAS cases that the sides have a different interpretation of a given rule. UEFA are usually found to be right on those!
Thanks for reply, so they may be on good ground if they suggest we may have broken "the spirit of a rule" whereas we would would perhaps argue the rule was specifically targeted at us?They can try.

There must be some very strong evidence against us - surely the IC & AC had to have something to justify such a huge punishment, especially as we’d already been punished for the period concerned?
They can’t be so amateurish as to go to CAS unarmed.
