UEFA FFP investigation - CAS decision to be announced Monday, 13th July 9.30am BST

[its grim up north]

I'm not a legal eagle like some folks on here, but a bit worried about this appeal to CAS. Shirley if we get away with a stoppage of proceedings due to a technicality we will be still be viewed in the media as guilty. Bacon face speeding down the M 602 is a good example. Would it not be better to let UEFA charge us and then bury them in a court

 

[CityForever45]

So Uefa has leaked his position to Conn, we’ll see ,but i doubt it will be dismissed so easy

 

[Stoned Rose]

hmmmm....so basically delayed it further

That fat Romanian woman who runs the fake passport trade in Shudehill has just told me Conn is a KFA.

Appeal against the sanction, sanction then gets changed, either less ban, more ban, change in sanction, e.g. financial fine etc

Appeal against the process and there is no sanction as the process has been proven to be fraudulent.

Fuck knows what's going on. City and UEFA- better love story than Twilight.

So is Ren and Stimpy tbf.

But it all went quiet after that Bacon incident and it also went quiet after the police and BBC got it wrong over Cliff Richard. If the press started going back over these incidents, they would have to have conclusive evidence that a court would find as truth. To continue chasing City following clearance, the media would only be making a case that may lead themselves to be fined heavily.

It's nowt to do with Popey, Queeney or some fucker in Zimbabwe it's about our British media, they are the bad guys.

 

[Manc in London]

As I see it, Conn's article is suggesting that we can appeal about procedure but not before a judgement is made.

Nope. That makes zero sense. If the procedure is flawed then any judgement made as a result isn't worth the paper it's written on.

The stitch up cogs in motion !!

they can never de rail us,so let them play their games,we are suffocating them with our success ,they will never go away so the best attitude is fuck them off and take no notice

 

[Marvin]

Conn's article is well researched, but the obvious question he has not answered, is why CAS took the case if they have previously argued that they are not eligible to hear it until a final decision is made. I suspect the cases may not be comparable.

 

[BluessinceHydeRoad]

David Conn doesn't seem to understand that UEFA is not a duly constituted judicial body with any right to deny an individual (Bosman!) or a club their rights in law. If UEFA had not allowed for any right of appeal does he think City, or any of the clubs affected by UEFA decisions in the past, have meekly accepted it! As has been pointed out CAS has accepted the referral.

 

[marco]

Nope. That makes zero sense. If the procedure is flawed then any judgement made as a result isn't worth the paper it's written on.

well in simple law how many times have we heard the police have fucked up with their enquiries and the case has to be dropped 'many times'

 

[Marvin]

We play in their competition, and once UEFA move, what do you think happens next? The Premier League

 

[Newman Noggs]

Conn may be right.

But I think he's wrong. UEFA can make rules as to what appeals THEY will hear. What they can't do, much as they'd love to, is set down rules as to what appeals an independent Court can hear.

 

[Manc in London]

Nope. That makes zero sense. If the procedure is flawed then any judgement made as a result isn't worth the paper it's written on.

But it does make sense in terms of process. Why would CAS want to spend resources on a case where a judgement has yet been made. It could be that the CFCB throwout the case anyway. Unlikely the CFCB will dismiss it but understandable if CAS ask us to hold fire until the process has been exhausted

 

[marco]

im talking of the press ^^^

The referral process we have appealed against has been exhausted.
