In the meantime a club spokesman said that Chairman Jeff Shi was busy checking down the back of his sofa for enough change to pay the fine.

That's it, close down the season, smashed City twice for no good reason as well

If the season is declared null and void so would that match be. Therefore would the fine also be null and void

City are not looking for a fair hearing, they are guilty as charged and know it. They are just looking to find a way out through a legal loophole

Have you seen the evidence?

City's lawyers weren't allowed access to it during UEFA's show trial, I sure as hell haven't seen it.

Maybe you have.

You don't need to see the evidence. Man City have never disputed the authenticity of the emails or the interpretation of the contents.

They are appealing on the grounds that EUFA followed a "flawed process".

As stated above, they are trying to find a way out through a legal loophole.

Will their $20,000 a day lawyers find one? Most probably.

Will it make them any less guilty? No.

ill say on here what i,ve already said on the city board.
i am very disappointed that wolves have associated themselves with this move. this has absolutely nothing to do with justice but everything to do with a grubby turning on another english club so as to get a european place.

city, barred from europe by the serially corrupt uefa, have every justification to appeal and should be supported

I believe that City have bent the rules and have been found out. I think that all clubs have the right to play on a level playing field and the rest of the Prem have the same right.

I am sure that had it been a lower club then they would have had the same or greater punishment.

Rugby Union have dealt very severely with Saracens, with relegation and a fine, City have got off lightly in comparison.

grow up and think for yourself

Whatever the rights or wrong I hope any appeal that City are going to make is heard and finalised before football starts again so we know what’s going on

If City are guilty as charged, why are certain other clubs so desperate for the CAS hearing not to take place?

posted on 2/4/20

City have to justify a hearing, not just put in delaying tactics in the hope their ban won’t start yet. They haven’t yet stated the basis of their appeal so no hearing is necessary. They are guilty of cheating the ffp rules so they have to come up with why they say the process is not sound so they can get out of it on a legal technicality.

They have driven at 70mph in a 30mph limit area and having had double the legal alcohol limit. But good lawyers can sometimes get people off the hook even in those circumstances through finding a legal loophole. It doesn’t mean they are not guilty of the offence, just that they can’t be charged

City haven't been allowed to see the evidence. I imagine that's grounds for an appeal in most situations.

They had the chance to contest the evidence months ago but chose not to, as they claimed the EUFA process was "flawed".

They haven't disputed the contents of the emails, just how they were obtained.

As stated above, they were drunk behind the wheel of a stolen car and killed a seven year old on a pedestrian crossing. The defence hinges on the basis that the Custody Officer on the front desk made a mistake in the paperwork when he charged them.
