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

[ZanteWeatherman]

Let’s hear it for @tolmie's hairdoo @Prestwich_Blue @projectriver for keeping us all calm under pressure

There are two or three other posters who deserve kudos too. No names mentioned but I suspect they have had dealings in court related issues.

 

[Rochdale Blue]

Dipper Warnock on Sky sports news looking very confused over the verdict. Why is he making comments on City and mumbling we will just have to accept the decision. No City representation or any attempt at impartiality by Sky.

 

[Jesus H Gabz]

could hear the reversing warning beep, must have had someone in his ear saying retract, retract, retract. Bloody amateurs.

Should of let him run his mouth & allow him to become the first of many before the courts

Legal team need to get their act together on people libelling us today. Hear Harris is about to appear on Talkshite.

 

[Heisenberg's Blue Sky]

I hope he sends that fuckin eagle to deliver the fine and shit on their heads at the same time!

 

[avoidconfusion]

STUPENDOUS!!!!!

 

[Tugay One Cup]

I've been sat on a park bench laughing for the last hour and a half. Everyone seems to have walked off.

 

[ctid1894]

He can't wank and keep the server going at the same time lol

How do you know he needs both hands?

 

[west didsblue]

I see UEFA’s pissy statement ignores the main finding which was
“MANCHESTER CITY FC DID NOT DISGUISE EQUITY FUNDING AS SPONSORSHIP CONTRIBUTIONS”
and focuses on “the CAS panel found there was insufficient conclusive evidence to uphold all of the CFCB’s conclusions”, thereby trying to infer that we got away with it rather than we didn’t do it.
Corrupt wankers.

Can someone change the thread title to either Euros or £8.9M :)

 

[SidJames]

Not sure if "City Chief" posts on here.

But thanks a million Dude.

You were the quickest on Twiitter by a mile.

I was faffing about in a blind panic,abandoned by the Mother Ship (Bluemoon),desperately looking for a link.Literally at 9.29 am i lost all contact.

 

[Cobwebcat]

We’re going balls deep - the damages from this will be insane if we go for the throat.

Oh dear. Oh dear oh dear oh dear as Rimmer would say to Lister....

SERVES THEM RIGHT

 

[BringBackSwales]

Could the thread title be changed to €10m rather than £10m? Whilst I know that over £1m isn’t a lot to Ric, it is to the rest of us. Well apart from GDM anyway

 

[argyle]

Warnock's face when he realised he was getting hung out to dry hahahahaha

Quickly followed by a complete backtrack

Any video of this?

 

[razman]

THIS !

I actually got blocked a couple of Football twitter handles who i used to follow - for their decent football analysis , for basically asking if they doubt CAS independence.

How bitter can you get !

 

[domalino]

By the way - the "time-barred" explanation is the biggest fuck you to the media, and especially David Conn, who wrote that it was misinformation and dangerous to suggest serious people like the judges in the AC would prosecute something in bad faith.

Pursuing something obviously outside the statute of limitations is a complete joke, and destroys the credibility of those judges, and surely opens UEFA up to damages because they banned us knowing it would be overturned by an independent body.

 

[the old abbey]

Wonder what that peice of filth Simon Jordan has too say,

 

[Josh_D]

To all the c*nts, f*ckwits, twitter warriors, shithouse pundits, Sky, BT, excuse for journalists, and snide assholes...

 

[Asa's left peg]

Some legal has already had a word with SKY, I think. Making a point of the CAS wording now.

 

[Saddleworth2]

This recent battle was *at least* the third time UEFA attempt to impose sanctions for the exact same supposed violations. This would be considered farcical and illegal in any other regulatory environment.

This judgement is basically a Goldilocks outcome.

I liked this so much I thought it warranted repeating. Simon Mullock in the Mirror has tweeted he reckons City will go on the offensive now. I really hope they do.
