Great podcast!

Will City and UEFA receive the verdict before it goes public or at the same time?

Cheers
Yes - presumably a few hours notice probably. Maybe a day.

Do you get paid in kind ?

@projectriver Why do you think UEFA objected to City offering articles A92,93 & 94 as evidence in the appeal. I read A92 was a newspaper article and A93 & A94 were communications between UEFA and City. I said before this gives me hope that these articles support our argument. What’s your take on this?

A very minor row about 3 documents. Irrelevant at CAS because no limit on what they could append to their submissions (within reason).

New York Times first, UEFA next and City a week later.

I keep reading 2 kinds of posts.

1) If we win, then thats it, game over.

2) If we lose, thats it, we won't go through the Courts for varying reasons.

Both these scenario's amount to a free swing for uefa as far as I'm concerned.

Thanks, just time to finalise a statement.

I didn’t know if there was any last minute chance to strike a deal or indeed if one could be struck now based on the result.

I always thought City had always considered CAS as first instance and could push the matter further if they do not get the result they want. Although I wasn’t sure if there was an element of bluff to it.

Would it be entirely in plausible to have a deal with UEFA that says if CAS upholds the 2 year ban we would accept 1 and not take the matter further, with UEFA considering this a better deal then going through further courts so be willing to agree.

It won't matter. FFP won't be recognised in its current form when the window reopens.

Possibly a luxury spending tax on acquisitions over £50m.

...and agents be paid by their clients.

Think are summer holidays started earlier than most so watched the same first episodes of Robinson crusoe every year, always back at school before the end of the series.
At 55 years of age can anyone put me out of my misery and tell me did he get rescued?

He did but he couldn't explain to Customs and Excise where he got the money from to employ a man servant (Friday) and banned from traveling anywhere in Europe for two years.

Yes you can settle even after a judgement. In theory. But UEFA will know, I think, that the chance that we will do that is slim so not sure they would agree to half the sanction. But not impossible.

Thanks,

Let’s hope we called it right!!

 

[bluestreak]

Was that Izal? Horrible stuff.

I think it was San Isol. It was particularly nasty if your fingers slipped and you found yourself in the shit. ;

 

[cookster]

Wow

Punishment for turning them over at CAS

Yes but if we manage to convincingly overturn the ruling, UEFA could end up in turmoil with bloodied noses for the old cartel and Leterme
If it all works out well for us we hope it gives Ceferin the power to clean up UEFA and start to rid the organisation of G14 biased members such as Gill

 

[blue b4 the moon]

I wonder if Ceferin was offering to broker a fine as the punishment but he might have had to get the agreement of others in UEFA, possibly including cartel members. Maybe he could have taken responsibility and issued a fine but I am a bit unsure given the severity of the eventual sanction.

Anyway, most Blues seemed to want the Club to come out swinging and many were sick of the Champs League. That might could back to bite us but the Club has done what most fans wanted.

It's interesting that he came to two home games on the bounce, almost as though he made us a pair of offers, I think UEFA were desperate to box this off & failed.

Why have you missed Liverpool Echo from your list ?

Yes I was surprised when Ceferin came to the second game. I was then a bit shocked at the severity of the punishment.

I hope Monica isn't on a break...

She just nipped out to google stuff.

i’ve had confirmation that I won my parking ticket appeal v’s Sheffield council today.
Although I had no help from Monica. I did what any tech savvy person would do and out googled them.

I can see one or two from the IC and AC, such as Leterme having to fall on their swords. Maybe even an apology from Ceferin, but otherwise I see no damage to uefa. I'm not convinced that Ceferin wants to clean up uefa, personally think it's pie in the sky.
