That will be famous Manchester City fan David Conn?

That’s been irrelevant for quite a while now. That’s a different topic of conversation though (and mostly not for a public forum)

Fair enough, really I couldn't care less. I always enjoyed going to Main Road, and my golfing partner was a City fan so there was loads of banter.

I haven't followed the case at all, just read the headlines and am not really bothered what happened.
But the article in the Guardian today doesn't show you as being squeaky clean.

The same Guardian who posted an article yesterday with a picture of the wrong black man as the photo? Don’t know their ar5e from their elbow that lot!

No worries, I just didn't want people to get the impression that it was two judges appointed directly by us.

In terms of the vindication, it's as full as it was ever going to get and it was always going to go to CAS as the key argument that we went with during the initial proceedings was that the emails should have been inadmissable and so didn't support anything post that point. Providing the full emails to UEFA would have automatically made them admissable, dismissing our point in the first place.

I don't have an issue with UEFA with it tbh, other than that I don't see most of it as being close to comfortable satisfaction of proof even without us showing all of the additional evidence.

Further email leaks since the verdict detailing a payment to Etihad from Simon Pearce to Etihad for the "sponsorship amount". Seems to directly contradict Pearce own stated defence that previous emails questioning who was paying the sponsorship were just because there was “some confusion among individuals at the club”.

Wasn't that email dated 2010, long before FFP was even thought of, or was it the one that mentions 'His Highness', which could refer to literally 1000's of people in the Arab world?

Further email leaks eh?

What, are Der Spiegel drip feeding information now?

Nick Harris has tweeted about this, drawing attention to an email allegedly sent in 2013...

I think this will continue as long as there's a possibilty we could play Bayern in the CL.
