In fact they actually have an obligation not to say anything, as CAS proceedings are confidential.
CAS list totally diff to UEFA.
If we appeal on the substance, CAS has the power to set the "verdict" aside..
How do you know the document in our defence remains unopened?
I hope so but I am not sure.
We maybe right. We believe we are right but that does not mean to say right will prevail not when prejudice is involved.
This is like the cold-war witch-hunt of any radical in the anti-Soviet USA. Just cry Reds! and it was enough to convict.
The press might see it that way (but will be wary of seeming racist), but our lawyers can be relied upon to gently hint at wider corruption in UEFA.Rich Arabs bending the beautiful game getting caught bang to rights is how most will see it. We'll be next on their list. I am talking about perceptions here not reality.
It was designed for internal consumption and a reminder to the wider football world that we think this is political and not technical. I think a few City fans need reminding that it is political and as such a resolution is more difficult than a straightforward legal argument.So what you’re saying is, it can’t be completely dismissed?
Is it coincidence that its come out now, from UEFA trying to show that 1 of the nuevo rich clubs is bent so the other must be or is this UAE striking a bow against Qatar just when we need it as a warning that it's not just about UEFA & football.
I’ll take that as a maybe.It was designed for internal consumption and a reminder to the wider football world that we think this is political and not technical.

It does not directly impact on the specifics of the case does it other than make a general point about the influence of power and lobbying in football.The press might see it that way (but will be wary of seeming racist), but our lawyers can be relied upon to gently hint at wider corruption in UEFA.

I think this is quite a huge deal. A UEFA executive member being charged with criminal
Offences ?? If you look at Rob Harris’s tweets on this then
An amicable partial agreement ? Reaaaaally . Can we claim as a Unit that Uefa are clean and impartial with these corruption charges coming to light ?
fuck off. If he’s going to do all that for country then what is he prepared to do for club
This is huge news imo! Get CAS with this info and ours done and dusted and go and get these corrupt fuckers once and for all!!! Go all the way please khaldoon with this and bury FFP once and for all!!

How is it relevant? The argument is about whether Football Leaks (and any additional evidence we don't know about) show that City broke the FFP rules. There's an argument about the process. Obliquely it can be used but I think your grasping at straws. A panel of judges will want evidence that has a direct bearing on our hearing at UEFA and the allegations made by Football Leaks.This is huge news imo! Get CAS with this info and ours done and dusted and go and get these corrupt fuckers once and for all!!! Go all the way please khaldoon with this and bury FFP once and for all!!
FIFA not UEFA.cant someone put this in simple terms please !! if I am right UEFA wanted the charges dropped but the authorities have ignored UEFA and nicked him ?
Those elite clubs you speak of will follow the money. That is the bottom line.
If a separate league means less revenue then they will stand by UEFA.
