UEFA FFP investigation - CAS decision to be announced Monday, 13th July 9.30am BST

What have Pannick and Flint, and their relationship, got to do with the point you were advancing, namely that people within UEFA and the CAS Judges were drawn from the same milieu?, viz:

They come from a small group of people who must know each other, go to the same conferences, go through the same education, read the same journals.

The AC will not be too dissimilar from CAS in terms of the background of the people involved.

Haha - the absolute big boss man is on the warpath.

He has a lovely gaff in Switzerland too.

Its on the French side.

During the minutes silence at the Rag v Watford match, the commentator said Harry Gregg was signed for a world record fee for a goalkeeper. They have been doing it since the mid fifties.

Tbh they shouldn’t have been talking during the minutes silence

Mid 50s
Alex Bell back in 1902/03 was a British record at the time depending on which source you use.
At the time of signing, they were a bankrupt 2nd division club

Sorry it might have been just before or after but the point still stands.

What concerns me is the amount of negative media coverage the club has had over this, which is pretty much unprecedented in the history of football or any other team sport - I wonder what sort of impact this will have on CAS's decision. Whatever the evidence shows or doesn't show, it's going to take a very brave tribunal to find in our favour given the backlash that will undoubtedly ensue.

 

[Proy]

I just don’t believe they didn’t look at it. I agree on the point about the books to an extent, although the AC clearly feel like they have enough evidence regardless. I’m not sure what context can be added to a few of the emails tbh, which is why I personally really want to see what our defence was/is. If it is on procedural issues as well as the admissibility then that’s fine.

Then the hopelessness of UEFA will come as quite the surprise to you when this over.

Not really anything else I can add.

What you are basically saying is the process UEFA followed was correct and by procedure and that Manchester City are telling lies.

Ah well.....

Don't forget that one of the main parts of City's CAS complaint from May was that the IC had made judgement without allowing the club to fully present it's case, didn't respond to requests of information and didn't follow their own processes.

All in order to pass it to the AC on the eve of the 5 year anniversary of the 2014 Settlement Agreement. Hmmm... I wonder why ;)
