Yep that’s correct Milan spent big fucked it up and took the ban when there Plan of breaking even didn’t work.
Harris must know, even from the public statements already made, that City's defence is nothing to do with the emails being stolen. That ship sailed a long time ago. He has repeatedly failed to make any attempt to balance his comments. I used to think he was just incompetent but you have to start thinking that he may be malicious in the way he is reporting this issue.
The irony in all of this is even if the allegations are true, the root cause of it was us (well, Mansour) helping to make Etihads books look better rather than the other way round, the complete opposite of what all those casting judgement already have been arguing for the last ten years...
Agreed, seems the ADUG business plan has proved itself superior to the traditional one.What's even more laughable is the fact they have to go back to 2014 to try and find inflated income because since that time the club's income has skyrocketed due to sponsorships not from the middle east and we piss their little negative 34 million break even amount over 3 years by a fucking mile. Not withstanding that we've already been punished for failing it at the time already (despite our protestations of no wrongdoing and none admission of guilt) and have a letter releasing us from obligations under the agreement. I really do despise UEFA.
July apparentlyIs the actual ruling made this week?
Soriano is the Chief Exec of CFG. He reports to Khaldoon who, inter alia, is the Chairman of CFG and MCFC and provides the link to Mansour and ADEC.I don't think the buck would stop with Mansour. He is actually in charge on a daily basis elsewhere
I may be wrong so someone correct if I am wrong, I think Soriano is in charge and reports to Mansour
I’ve got a feeling we will have a pretty good idea, either way, by the end of this week.July apparently
Sheikh Mansour has no connection with Etihad. His brother chairs the company and it's the stae-owned flag carrier for Abu Dhabi, where he's a member of the royal family, but he's not on the airline's board nor is he on the Abu Dhabi Executive Council.The irony in all of this is even if the allegations are true, the root cause of it was us (well, Mansour) helping to make Etihads books look better rather than the other way round, the complete opposite of what all those casting judgement already have been arguing for the last ten years...

I just can’t see UEFA being able to not leak, they will want to stage manage it either way - can’t contain their excitement or planting seeds of a technicality.We might but it wouldn't surprise me if the club issue a bland 'fair hearing, confidence in our case, no further comment until the official CAS statement' and say nothing more.
The hack pack will chase for signs of how it went.

You'll know immediately with our transfer activity and the circling vultures if it goes against us (trying to get Sterling/De Bruyne etc).
The clearest sign of how this went will be how utd approach the chase for 5th place.
