Thanks was half asleep when I read itLook closely the offending paragraph has been amended to say UEFA instead of CAS.

They do show differing views on City. They show the rag view and then the dipper view.Yes, that’s my take as well.
They are absolutely battered when not showing differing views. But City related stuff is generally one-sided. Ie negative
The BBC should have been closed down years ago, but still to be in existence when they blatantly covered up and let a paid employee paedophile continue his appalling acts says everything that needs to be said about the BBC.The fact that the BBC seem to encapsulate one of the most extreme “holier than thou” cultures that sees them deflect anything approaching criticism suggests we will never know. I’ve made numerous complaints to the BBC over the years and have never received anything close to an admission of error or wrong doing or an apology. Even when they were caught lying over the “Bertie” headline a senior executive at the BBC wrote me a 2 page missive denying any wrongdoing “whatsoever” - the name Bertie really was plucked out of the air at random and not one of the BBCs 20 odd thousand employees were aware that the term Bertie was in anyway related to a character in a Man United fanzine ! Or the fact that it had become a term of derision. There’s a self righteous attitude at the BBC that will ultimately see them go up in smoke.... Maybe some of these bitter fuckers like Harris should spend sometime investigating how our national broadcaster employed and tolerated known pedophiles and sex pests for decades - and when the facts came to life equally passed it off as something they were wholly unaware of. Numerous people will tell you what a sexual predator Stuart Hall was at the BBC and how his behaviour was tolerated and excused. I for one won’t be subscribing to the BBC when the license fee is scraped... and hopefully the cost cutting measures will include Danny Murphy!
Be good if the club made a statement clarifying this ruling and managing the media message.
It's a bit like the character in Coronation St who has been called Bertie - I mean who calls a baby that these days. I bet that the script writer will claim he isn't a rag and just made the name up.The fact that the BBC seem to encapsulate one of the most extreme “holier than thou” cultures that sees them deflect anything approaching criticism suggests we will never know.

Please can everybody read this and take it in. Loads on here piling into Nick Harris saying he is stupid, a liar etc. He isn't either. He knows that if you keep peddling a lie more people will believe than wont, especially if they want to believe the lie.
Interesting that City succeeded in introducing 3 new documents (A-92, A-93 and A-94) as evidence after the deadline for submissions had passed. CAS had another sideswipe at UEFA with regard to this. Even though the appeal was lost on technical grounds the possible value of making the appeal is that CAS are now fully aware of how UEFA have conducted proceedings in this case.
61. The Panel noted that Exhibit A-92 is a publication in a newspaper and therefore a publicly accessible document that was not available at the time MCFC filed its Appeal Brief (i.e. 11 June 2019). The Panel also considered it appropriate for MCFC to keep the Panel updated on alleged further leaks to the media by UEFA considering the similar allegations already expressed in the Appeal Brief, which possibility was also expressly reserved by MCFC in its letter to the CAS Court Office dated 22 July 2019. The Panel therefore decided to admit this document on file based on exceptional circumstances.
62. Exhibit A-93 and A-94 are letters sent by UEFA to MCFC on 11 and 29 July 2019 that were not available at the time of filing the Appeal Brief. MCFC relied on these documents to corroborate its argument that the proceedings before the Investigatory Chamber were not fair and argued that it should not be prevented from relying on these documents because UEFA chose not to disclose the existence of such evidence until after the deadlines for MCFC to file its submissions with the CAS had passed.
63. The Panel recognised the force of the last argument of MCFC and noted that it indeed appeared that MCFC had previously asked the Investigatory Chamber to be provided with the complete case file, which was confirmed by UEFA on 11 July 2019, but that it was later (on 29 July 2019) confirmed by UEFA for the first time that a “scope document” existed by means of which UEFA had set out the objective and scope of the compliance audit to be performed on MCFC by an accountancy firm. The Panel considered that these two documents together could be relevant for the Panel’s decision on the admissibility of the Referral Decision and/or the merits of the case, should the Panel decide that MCFC’s appeal was admissible. The Panel therefore decided to admit these documents on file based on these exceptional circumstances.
