If I was being a cynic, I might think that a fair few cancelled subscriptions from City fans over the weekend urgently necessitated a fairly pro-City piece on their platform.
Read the thread and you’ll find what you are looking for.I understand that but I was asking for it to be sent privately or at least where I could find it
Maybe wrong but I thought CAS would be more about following the procedures , and if they rule against UEFA on procedure that’s as far as they will go. If we wanted to go further we’d have to make a claim for damages against UEFA probably in a different court. So the CAS hearing we are more concerned with overturning the decision not clearing our name , hence the ‘initial’ part of the club statement.
I get that sir, wasn’t having a pop. Honest.
I do try to be objective and wouldn’t take any outlet as guaranteed but it’s nice to see a little bit of pro City news amidst all the fucking hounds out there.
I think that’s correct. CAS is about the process and procedure - is it fair and reasonable ( and does it align with uefa process and procedure?) and ultimately - is the sanction a reasonable response to the findings of the investigation. So we do have a few bites of the cherry in terms of procedure and we must be very guilty of serious wrongdoing to have a sanction as severe as the one awarded upheld.
As "give it to gordon" stated it is cold weather out there. ;)I have..... Ci
Fuck that, it's half term for us bone-idle teachers.Walk into work with our heads held high tomorrow blues. We’re better than them
No biggie we just...cough cough.....sign up a couple more sponsorship deals. :)This is as severe as it comes. Missing two seasons of European football and a £30m fine will cost us £200m+.
Soap dodger.Fuck that, it's half term for us bone-idle teachers.
In that case, couldn’t we just have proved that during this investigation (or even before it got to that) to nip all this in the bud?
Didn't take it as a pop, pal.
We're desperate for any positive slants.
Sadly, the only positive one today came from an outlet which has basically discredited itself to the fullest extent in terms of this entire subject.

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.In that case, couldn’t we just have proved that during this investigation (or even before it got to that) to nip all this in the bud?
H.H.: His Highness - i.e. he is royal. H.E.: His excellency - i.e. he is or has been a senior government appointee. So HH could be anyone of the brothers in the royal family.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.
theories.Lots of conspiracy theorys and ifs and buts. But i wonder if uefa we scared or put under massive pressure from la liga after the latest messi rumours??? Easiest way to defo stop him moving here would be to ban us from europe messi wouldnt sign for a club not playing in europe.
So we were punished for not cooperating with the investigation, but we weren't asked to cooperate with the investigation? Seems fair.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.
Agree completely with your last sentence, but didn’t UEFA say we’d failed to co-operate too? Something doesn’t add up.We weren't given the chance and I suspect we were never going to be listened to anyway.
