A quick google translate :-

"The CAS panel wasn't composed of right-wing islamophobic nut-jobs so we need to put that right."

Ha true

Just saw a post that he (Tebas) is a member of an anti muslim party - dont know if true

 

[blue b4 the moon]

midday news on Sky Sports, totally different angle taken, even stating we should be aggrieved that we have to pay a fine!

Looks like we've 'had words'.

Wonder if that dip no-mark ex-player is shitting himself now.

Who, what?

Bbc website
Lots of comments in support of City

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.

I think you're probably right, although the damage to reputation is something they'll be thinking about.

Yes he's a supporter or member of Vox, a far-right Spanish party.

"Manchester City did not disguise equity funding as sponsorship contributions".

Likewise, Kieran Maguire, Football Finance lecturer at University of Liverpool, said: “I think Manchester City will be delighted. Realistically they will be better off to the tune of around a quarter of a billion pounds – assuming they reach the Champions League in the next two seasons. Of course, they have qualified for next season’s competition...“In terms of Manchester City, the allegation was they had inflated their revenues through the owners and Cas appear to have come down very firmly in their summary of the hearing to say that wasn’t the case. The quality of evidence put forward by Uefa was insubstantial and inadequate.”

Just back from Playing golf. Was constantly checking my phone at 930. Great news. Have we issued life time bans to any journos yet?

 

[brummie blue]

City fan on Sky - brilliant! A dig at the media, other clubs and Uefa in one brief statement.

Come on blues, let's share a minutes silence for all our Rag and dipper friends who are suffering greatly at the moment - let's show some compassion and see if we can win one or two over to being understanding.

Pity he's not a member of an anti-eating party too.

He didn`t take the job.

Well, serves me right for believing a friend without checking it out.

The guy on sky sports just now, what a legend!!!!

"I'd like to say to everyone who dragged our club through the mud.... DO ONE!"

 

[Millwallawayveteran1988]

I see Conn is having his say now. Hates the money side of football but no so much that he wouldn’t cash in on it himself by writing a book about it. Did he give them away for free or donate the profits to charity?

@Ballet-on-ice how do you feel?

You were sure we’d lost!

 

[Colin Bells Boots]

@tolmie's hairdoo when do you think that City will issue a statement about the result ?

I am assuming they haven't and I've missed it .

For those who don't already know, our lead lawyer was Lord David Pannick. I suppose the moral is: if you are in trouble - Pannick!

Our advisor was Pannick. I believe he worked on the lines to be taken with Monica Carrs Frisk, a team that has played together before. She is head of the chambers.
Monica presented our case at CAS.
