Were they always confident or preparing for the worst? Why have CAS decided to rule in City's favour? Why have CAS said some of the allegations were 'time-barred' and what does that mean? What does this ruling mean for the future of Financial Fair Play? Could UEFA still mount a challenge to this decision? Could the Premier League decide to take action against City?
