CAS judgement: UEFA ban overturned, City exonerated (report out p603)

[hertsblue]

Simon Stone is in shock as he actually praises us:

Manchester City have enjoyed some major successes on the field in recent years but arguably this is the biggest of the lot.

They didn't cheat the system in order to put their brilliant squad together - and they are not banned from Europe.

They did fail to co-operate with the initial inquiry - but as they believed it was flawed and prejudiced in the first place, I don't think a 10m Euro fine is going to bother them too much

 

[Churchlawtonblue]

Sadly, It’s not. Amongst us City fans yeah but the rest of the world will see this as City unjustly escaping punishment

Oh it most definitely is! Any authority that issues punishments without due process let alone sufficient evidence and has that decision so publicly turned over ends up with some serious egg on its face?

Now let’s go and win the thing this year and then play the entire EDS team next season

The media narrative is that FFP is dead.
This is being interpreted as that we have a licence to continue cheating.
We have been found to have not cheated via a legal process.
The regulations are untouched.

This is better than viagra

I am very relieved at this moment.

Well done mate and thanks for your consistent and detailed commentary.

This "end of FFP" / "seriously undermines FFP" bullshit is already pissing me off

How can a club not being found guilty of breaking the rules undermine them

It is a clear implication that we have somehow found a way around it

10m euro fine for not co-operating?

BOOOO

That is a hefty fine for that. They are so fckin corrupt

 

[Keeper!]

Lord David Pannick. fu*k you we did not need you anyway, too expensive!

They can take the 10 million off the fine they give Bayern for tapping up Sane and posting pictures of him in a Bayern shirt before he signed. If not we should let it be known that a million quid of it came from the money the dippers gave us for the hack.

 

[shevtheblue]

it was a stitch up from the start and we should now expose what is beneath the scab at the rotten core of UEFA’s underbelly. The fine allows us to go back after them. We ain’t done yet.

How can you have a regulatory competition body that has high ranking officials who are either currently associated to, or have been well associated to huge clubs in that same competition?!

 

[pirate]

Are we still Booing?

louder than ever
because this result proves they are bent fuckers

 

[simon23]

I wish but i doubt it....its beneath our owners to go out for vengence

 

[SWP's back]

I tell you, when first bluemoon and then fucking CAS's website went down I shat myself.

Ended up reading the news first off from City's twitter statement before the CAS document then opened up.

Wheres that Happy fellow?

Changed his name already.Its now Imfuckingsad.

 

[paulchapo]

Now leave no stone unturned. Root out every cockroach who has called is cheats and worse and crush them to pulp. Show no mercy.

 

[Blu3m00n91]

I hope we pay the fine in fucking pennies. I leave it in bags of shit outside UEFA’s office

 

[Easy]

Now it’s time to

announce Pep’s extension
Announce De Bruyne, Sterling, Garcia extensions

win the FA cup, win the CL

Sign Koulibaly and rejuvenate the squad!!

Reclaim the title next season !!!

GET IT DONE!!!

 

[Daz_Blue]

Did CAS indicate in their findings whether it's a muffin or a barm ?

 

[Mancity1980]

Sets a precident though – any other club that doesn't co-operate should be automatically fined €10mil then surely

There’s a difference between doesn’t and limited cooperation.
