This is from the Conn article.

One of the emails, from City’s then chief financial officer, Jorge Chumillas, headed “Cashflow”, stated that Mansour’s own company vehicle, the Abu Dhabi United Group (ADUG), would be paying £57m as a “contribution to 13/14 sponsorship fee”, while only £8m was Etihad’s “direct contribution”. Then Chumillas sent invoices for Etihad, internally to the City executives Ferran Soriano and Simon Pearce, stating that for 2015-16, the Etihad sponsorship was £67.5m, of which “£8m should be funded directly by Etihad and £59.5 [sic] by ADUG”.
The issue is whether ADUG paid City and we called it sponsorship, or Etihad paid City after ADUG paid them. If it's the latter then there cannot be a case to answer, as UEFA have absolutely no legislation where a sponsor gets their money.

If ADUG paid us, even on behalf of Etihad, things might get messy.

I assume that would have shown up on accounts or even bank transactions that City received. Therefore, I can only imagine the latter happened where ADUG transferred to Etihad. Whereupon Etihad sent the full quoted 67.5m. Otherwise City would have been absolute morons if the former of your scenarios would have happened, but then that would have surely been picked up without hacked emails. Then again if the leaks are the evidence, they hardly stand as legally obtained in a supreme court.
 
Its a big "if" but even so its not stopped the rags spending big when not in Chumps league has it ?
Whether we like it or not Man Utd the name is a bigger draw than us and that is what attracts players to them . You are right about it not being sorted but if it goes pear shaped it will be bad for us . I think we will do one season tbh
 
If, a big if, UEFA can make the main thrust of the case against us stick are we fucked?

This is the apparent exchange of emails saying that Etihad were paying only 8 mill of their sponsorship with Sheikh Mansour putting his hand in his pocket for the rest.
 
Close your eyes and keep repeating my username, think you will then understand :)
Sorry pal just travelling back from 3 days in Belfast and flight delayed by 3 hours, not thinking straight. Had to get off the Belfast City tour bus earlier too, the women doing the commentary must have been George bests fucking live child; 20 mins of George buying everyone in restaurants their meals, George building old people’s homes, George giving all his fucking money to charity ( charity is a funny fucking name for distillery), George being unfairly destroyed by the British press, saint fucking George, not a great day

If such emails exist it would be nice to know who the daft fuckers were that sent them
