The technicality would seem to be we win on things like UEFA were reviewing matters they had no legal jurisdiction to review- for instance related to the already resolved settlement agreement- rather than technicalities of accounting practices or stuff much deeper into the argument.
If that proved to be the case, from what’s been written about, both here and elsewhere, then we’d win as the rest of the case would collapse.
I don’t know, from that point, whether CAS would bother analysing the other stuff related to this case or whether it would just automatically become irrelevant and effectively inadmissible.
If it is was my job, and I could find an easy way to sign off early and deliver what I technically needed to, then I wouldn’t be bothering effectively passing judgement on every matter/ doing everything that was required, when I could just dismiss this at the first hurdle and have a nice relaxing few days on expenses. That approach might lead to, for some, an unresolved did they or didn’t they outcome. I can handle that!
What I come back to though is that UEFA did have serious legal people look at this case and come to a hefty guilty verdict. We don’t know why that was, because it’s never been disclosed, but that decision was brought about by a bunch of well qualified and significantly experienced legal professionals. Therefore, we have to hope the bravado we’ve shown thus far walks the walk at CAS and we win. How resounding the win becomes might matter to some, but for me I’d happily take this just going away and we can focus on football again, at least until the next round of needing to brush up on legal, financial, political and other generally associated non-footballing matters becomes a necessity again (no doubt in about a week after the verdict!)
