I find it strange that people have such extreme reactions to the fact that lawyers represent different clients, seemingly on different sides of things, on a case by case basis.
Yup, top lawyers fight the case, full stop.
 
Can't see anything on the newspaper backpages. Very quiet given what is at stake.
You should really just wait for them to publish their verdict themselves.

Even when PSG case result was pretty easy to imagine, given they had just settled on that turkish club with a similar case earlier, there was no leak at all. We didn't even know when they would give their decision.

It is actually a good thing, it shows how serious they are.

Can you remember how long it took for the verdict to come out?
 
. I'm just very sceptical about it all, can see Cas shitting it due to too many people being majorly pissed off if it goes in our favour.
The people who sit on these CAS panels are experienced legal professionals, they made their careers winning cases that might have annoyed governments/police/big business/criminal gangs etc - I doubt that a two-bit organisation like UEFA will have them reaching for the brown trousers.

The general rule is you can’t act against a previous client, though. Not in relevant litigation that’s for sure. Would otherwise undermine the perceived integrity of the profession.

Can't really tell you how long it took because i didn't know the CAS schedule at the time.

What i know is both PSG and Galatasaray appealed to CAS in October 2018 using that 10 day review rule and Galatasaray knew the verdict by mid February while PSG had to wait 19 March 2019. It was not rocket science after Galatasaray case to deduct PSG would win the appeal, still it took 1more month.

According to "le Journal du Dimanche", PSG was expecting a decision by the end of 2018, then it was announced it would be by mid February and it was finally pushed back to the 19 March 2019.
 
They only need three of the five to consider a case. I'd be surprised if Flint was one of them given his UAE connections

Got there before me. At least 3 of the 5, I think. I haven't seen any statement of who was involved, but any focus on Flint looks like a red herring to me.

Not as much as the idea that CAS are not impartial though.
 
well UEFA must have a line of reasoning. You don't have to trial FFP you have to assess UEFA's argument.

If it's that Sheikh Mansour financed the Etihad deal we already know. thanks to PB and David Conn, that it's highly unlikely he did. It jut doesn't make sense that a private individual would stand in for a failing state airline which you would expect to be underwritten by its national government. I can't see what else is serious enough to warrant a 2 year ban as the the other UAE sponsorships are minor.

Why is it unlikely that Sheikh Mansour financed the Etihad deal? The hacked emails suggest he did exactly that and City have never denied their authenticity, merely their context. And having looked at them again yesterday I’m really struggling to see how they might have been taken out of context as claimed. They come from senior members of the City hierarchy and contain very precise instruction on the movement of money between ADUG and Etihad. If we’re going to take this ban down, then it seems (to my untrained eye) that it’ll have to be on one of the regulatory/technical/whatever you want to call them, grounds that Projectriver outlined in that 93:20 podcast he did
