It's a question which I still bugs me.
Why did City go directly to CAS in an attempt to circumnavigate the process by Uefa?
City must surely have known it was a Hail Mary at best, knowing CAS couldn't do anything at that stage?
Throughout this whole process, it doesn't sit right, counsel would have known this.
Some have suggested it was simply a shot across UEFA's bow, but I think it was much more nuanced than that?
We needed to plant a seed to permeate CAS, there has to be more than City just trying to head Uefa off at the pass, knowing CAS couldn't get involved at that stage in the proceedings?
Partly setting the scene and narrative with CAS, and getting conclusions from CAS that have clearly resonated with the puppet string pullers at UEFA as they've shut up a lot more.
