We weren't given the chance and I suspect we were never going to be listened to anyway. We submitted a large dossier of evidence to support our case but it wasn't read before the case went to the AC. We have subsequently never been asked to appear before the AC to make our case.
It's really like a Stalinist show trial. The outcome was known in advance.
As His Highness Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed, with his full name. Whoever said it was 'His Excellency' was incorrect. Any references simply to 'His Highness' without a qualifying name, are to MBZ. That, I am reliably told, is the protocal and is strictly observed.Isn't Sheikh Mansour referred to as HH in the notes to our own accounts ?
Btw, separate subject; but Ornstein from the Athletic has repeatedly said that according to his source this will be Pep’s last season. Total click bait nonsense.
Quite the opposite. I shall be spending the next seven days at David Lloyd, swanning in and out of the spa, pool and cafeteria, popping occasionally in to the internet café there to get up to date on all things City. with the noble exception of Wednesday; for that day I shall be getting royally hammered in town then going to the match. I fucking love being off.Soap dodger.
Ask for a link. Someone will point you in the right direction.from what page?

What is this HH thing?
Of course it is Mansour.
CFG own official website proves it:
CFG is owned by Abu Dhabi United Group (ADUG) (87%) and the China Media Capital (CMC) Consortium (13%). Until December 2015, City Football Group was wholly owned by ADUG, a private investment and development company belonging to His Highness Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan.

Then from our own website, annual report 18-19:
As intended by His Highness Sheikh Mansour, our organisation is now at a level of maturity that enables us to plan on multi-year cycles both in terms of our management of squads and more widely across the business. This strategic planning has allowed us to create an environment in which continued on-pitch success is both possible and likely, and financial sustainability is a reality.

It won't be the end of it. They will simply find some other way of pursuing us.Colin in your opinion if we win the case at cas do you think that will be the end of it or will we go for the jugular afterwards?
Difficult question to answer but interested in your opinion on this.
I thought HH was Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed? Whatever, it's certainly not Sheikh Mansour and the emails said HH would "arrange" the extra funding. That funding comes from Abu Dhabi, probably the Executive Council, not ADUG so it's not owner investment.
What I assume has happened is that all the due monies were sent to ADUG for onward transmission to City and that Soriano's request to Pearce to have these split out is precisely because they need to ensure we avoid accusations of equity funds being mixed up with partnership revenue. Which is exactly what I'd expect from an organisation trying to ensure everything was whiter than white.
That's my thoughts too, they'll find something to dig dirt on us.It won't be the end of it. They will simply find some other way of pursuing us.

As I understand it and @prestwichblue confirms above is when using the title His Highness with out a name it refers to only the leader of the UAE to refer to Skeihk Mansour as HH it would include his full nameWhat is this HH thing?
Of course it is Mansour.
