I'd like to think that we'd go for reclaiming this fine as part of damages as a result of the whole investigation (perhaps not through CAS) but probably we'll stick rather than twist.Yeah. I think we were almost forced into holding back, due to uefas behaviour towards us.
My apologies. It appears that what I saw on Twitter was a fake Ancelotti account. Anyhow I’m sure he would have enjoyed seeing UEFA getting pummeled by City.Ancelotti just tweeted his congratulations.
La Liga president Javier Tebas has declared the Court of Arbitration for Sport as being ‘not up to standard’ after overturning Manchester City’s two-year European ban.
Tebas is a long-time critic of City’s funding model and has accused both them and Paris St-Germain of ‘financial doping’ in the past.
“We have to reassess whether the Cas is the appropriate body to which to appeal institutional decisions in football," he said. "Switzerland is a country with a great history of arbitration, the Cas is not up to standard.”
Not really - they've trailed the date of the announcement for a good while, and must have known at the end of the hearing how it was going. We've assumed it was a 3-0 win at CAS but if it was 2-1 (UEFA nominated one judge, as did we) it might be they're running the wording past the dissenting judge - or they're running it past City's lawyers...Notable last line there:
The final award with reasons will be published on the CAS website in a few days.
That's a pretty fast turnaround is it not.
Just get HH to pay itCity to Uefa, "That £8m fine? Just take it from our £150m prize money this season. You can put it in your Cup when we have finished pissing in it."
How about the coincidence that he was frequently banned or injured over the Xmas period?Danny Mills stabbed City in the back throughout his time as a player. I can't go into details on here but let's just leave it at: "He is a total snake."
That is a shame and also a mistake IMHO. The fuckers have to pay otherwise they will come back and try again. This attempt was meant to kill City once and for all.Nope - see our Chairman's own comments.
No its not. It's an up yours to uefa. No different than those on here saying we should pay the fine in coins. Where is the criticism of city's owners based on their skin or religion?That’s a VERY racist caricature
The judgement is clear exoneration
Sky had 2 commentators on their 1000 programme - suggesting that we had got away with it
Thankfully the host of the show stated that it was a clear verdict that we had not done the things we were accused of and they changed their narrative
That fine still annoys me haha
