Manchester City carefully prepares the defense it will present to TAS for the sanction imposed by UEFA for failing to comply with the financial fair play and which, in principle, will have two seasons without being able to participate in European competition.City has hired a prestigious lawyer David Pannick, who twice blocked the intention of the British Government to remove the United Kingdom from the European Union, whose salary is 20,000 euros a day.Among the arguments that Manchester City has to throw down the sanction is the fact that most of the information was obtained from illegally accessing certain emails. According to City they were stolen and are out of context. but for UEFA they are proof that the owner inflated the club financially through sponsorship.According to Mirror, another of the arguments that the Manchester team will use to defend themselves will be the case of the 2013 Spygate, in which several Liverpool workers, who had previously been contracted by Manchester City, would have accessed the scouting network of players from Manchester City. Both teams would have reached an agreement at the end of last year for a million euros, amount with which Liverpool would compensate the City for that case.The FA would have closed the case after this agreement, however, warned both clubs that the door would be open if there were new disclosures or evidence. City would be considering bringing documentation on this case of Liverpool espionage to TAS.
