Let me put this in a better way. It seems my recent idea that tact and politeness is overrated is yet again bearing fruit.

You don't know what you're talking about, you don't understand the situation and your reading of the post is at best off base and at worst stupid.

Alright pudding?

I see engaging in a sensible debate is not a strong point for you.

Something of a pathetic reaction, if we are being honest.

I have a different point of view, if you can’t deal with that it’s probably best not to respond.

Cheers
 
It does prove it beyond sensible amounts of doubt. It's an internal document from after the fact stating the sponsorship was covered by the Executive Council.

No it isn’t. It’s a doc from 2009 that is proposing to Etihad how to reduce the costs on their books in 2010 (the costs for their sponsorship for us at the time were 8m).

It was from before the fact and all it showed was that they were trying to make Etihads books look better than they were. It really isn’t a doc we would ever want to use as proof or evidence of anything.
 
It’s strange times and I don’t know if we should laugh or cry only City could become really good but still have have this huge negativity about us. Posters bravely put on this facade about not caring about other people’s opnions but huge threads develop about media and institutional bias against us. We win pretty much every domestic trophy going for 2 years and we can still not get due credit. We are swimming against a tsunami my fellow blues

mate I live in Australia and opposition fans have the same feeling about city here. It’s crazy. We city fans go into depth of FFP, what it means and the media bias towards us but to them they only see the surface. You think Liverpool, United arsenal fans etc give 2 fucks to go in depth on what’s going on with City. The narrative is set. I really really hope that if we smash this in CAS we go after the fuckers who I believe designed this smear campaign. It’s so obviously blatant to those blues that spend enough time investigating this. We need to go back and hit hard
 
CAS have followed there protocol.

It’s an appeals process, after conclusion of any investigation.

Yeh you are right. But if the evidence is indeed that insubstantial as PB is suggesting I fully expect this case to be thrown out by April.

Im absolutely certain it will be.

I think UEFA are a hopeless organisation, and are stupid enough to execute such bans based on absolutely nothing.

At worst they lose in appeal, they carry on and the damage is done as far as we are concerned.

The smear campaign is complete.

This part worries me. Like yeh most blues will just be happy to not have a ban and move on. But what damage has this done?

Does anyone with a legal bone in their body understand or know if city can claim defamation damages on the club and sue if it did go down this path.

Oh sorry, were those previous attempts your idea of "sensible debate"?

What an embarrassing admission.

Football in Europe is fucked my friend I used to love the olympics booked holidays from 80 on to watch it but as a sport it’s gone.

Absolutely.

They can also challenge the policy of FFP itself.

Sueing for damages only plugs any financial shortfall.

Even with a clear name, the damage is done no matter the outcome in the public eye.

I don’t expect we will proceed any further if the appeal is overturned
 
If we were bothered about the pr damage and can completely exonerate ourselves, then there’s nothing stopping us from asking for a public hearing or just publicly releasing our evidence at any time.

I highly doubt we will do that though, which says something in itself.

Our owners are concerned about the finances this sport is a business now and fair play has long gone and maybe it never existed
 
They were yes.

When you’ve finished being rics mouthpiece, you should seek some anger management.

You literally quoted a man on the internet annoyed because his comment was pretty neutral rather than a head in the sand incredibly optimistic position. This seemed to bother you enough to write an essay over. Normal and rational people don't require literal cheerleaders to be able to talk about a topic.

When you've finished your little emotional tirade then perhaps you can work on not requiring constant positivity on a subject in order to function

I have given my reasons for the disagreement.

I don’t have to justify myself to you.

You see it your way, I see it mine.

Crack on with your day, that’s what I’m going to do.
