Exonerated by 11am. Then two and a half days spent laughing at how ludicrous UEFA are
Let’s say 3 x 6 hour days, 9am - 5pm with a couple of hours for lunch (of course)...so to the start at 9am, first day of the trial:
CAS: OK UEFA...”would you like to present your evidence”??
UEFA: “No problem...we just have to pop out to get it”...
(UEFA patter out of the room, while Lord Pannick leans back in his chair and whistles an unknown tune)
16:58 on day 3, UEFA enter the room in a stampede...”Here it is, here it is...here’s the evidence”!!!
CAS: “So, your evidence is newspaper clippings”??
UEFA: “Well yes, but we used our most expensive photocopier to blow them up to A3 size”!!
CAS: “Anything else”??
UEFA: “Do we need anything else?? It’s clear they are guilty”!!
CAS: “Case against Man City dismissed. UEFA, I suggest that if you can take anything from this case, it’s that you shouldn’t believe everything that you read in the papers”!!
Lord Pannick sits there thinking “Easiest money I’ve ever made”...
