Anyone got a link to the Paddy Power odds article? Don’t think it’s been posted yet.
19 hours to go. @Ric - can we have a countdown clock or something?
At least 12 mate...The Bluemoon/Cas/UEFA Pantomime Rolls on
Wonder how many pages we will have by the End Of this??

The only way this can happen is if City does a deal with Uefa. Saving anybody's face is not the job of CAS. We refused to deal before saying we had done nothing wrong. If that is still our position the decision will be all or nothing. CAS will not announce a reduced sanction, again not their job.I have no idea but my gut feeling is this will be a fudge. 1 year means there won't be a mass exodus'of players but it also means UEFA don't lose face.
I know this has nothing to do with law but money talks and the old elite won't be happy if UEFA collapses.
It was bizarre. I'd always had a great deal of respect for him, even if I didn't always agree with him. But then he ran a story based on my tweet about the Etihad sponsorship being paid by the Executive Council and I can only assume got a telling off from The Guardian for publishing something that was potentially sympathetic or helpful to our case. He then produced utter shit like that, almost the next day. Vey bizarre that a man who spent almost his whole journalistic career exposing wrongdoing and corruption, and who wrote an excellent book about FIFA, should suddenly come out and support UEFA as some sort of paragon of virtue.This was one of the most biased and foolish articles written by anyone about the whole saga. It confirmed what I had always suspected..that David Conn is just a bluffer with little journalistic expertise. To produce this article, making out Yves Leterme to be some sort of saint, was laughable. He is asking people to show respect to UEFA...a proven corrupt organisation. I would like to know his motives for writing this.
Have I ever not been?still confident Colin?
Probably fuck all because they are just as bad in terms of misinformation and manipulation as any right wing paper.I wonder what the Observer/Guardian will have to say about this article if CAS do overturn the appeal.
