Im not sure how to post a link but if using Google, type in "Court of Arbitration for Sport". As a company they have a Google reviews section. Its getting hammered with negative reviews and some funny 5 star reviews.

Ive given them 5 stars ;-)

Cheers. This makes my head hurt.
 
The hacked #ManCity emails were allowed into evidence by the Court of Arbitration for Sport, but were then successfully rebutted by Manchester City's lawyers as being taken out of context. [
@MullockSMirror

#ManCity see their victory in the appeal against their two-year European ban as a 'total vindication' of their position for the last two years - there is a feeling of euphoria throughout the club. [

Court of Arbitration for Sport finds Manchester City to be in breach of UEFA Financial Fair Play rules, but lifts European competition ban and reduces fine to €10million.

Manchester City's €10m CAS-reduced fine for breaching Financial Fair Play rules converts to slightly more than the 'Etihad direct contribution for £8m' on the day this email was sent regarding the Abu Dhabi-owned club's '£88.5m' '13/14 sponsorship fee'.

His jawdropping claim that City were still in breach of FFP is surely sufficient to get the lawyers after the bitter cunnt.

No. Art 56 is a clause of FFP. We breached it. Hence anyone saying we breached FFP is technically correct and therefore no claim for defamation can subsist!!

Well it was either 3-0 or 2-1. I don't know, you don't know. I was just speculating that if it wasn't unanimous, then the final award might (without saying there was any dissent) make it clear that any reason for dissent was covered. Any dissent might be from one of the judges who disagreed that we should even be fined for not cooperating.

CAS do not report dissenting judgements.
 
An independent arbitrating body makes a decision = corrupt, but UEFA are the bastion of truth who have been cheated by an unfair process. Fuck off Scouse, Rag, and Cockney ****s! Inject the salt into my veins!
 
BBC NW with an ambiguously worded report.

City might want to play it cool but some individuals and some media might need a legal shot across the bows.

Good for him. I`m happy that he called it right. Good man and dedicated blue.
Some of the stick he received on bluemoon over the past few days was disgraceful. Most of it born out of simple jealousy

Good old Cheesey ... dread to think what would have happened to him if he'd been proved wrong today! Career finished and a mental breakdown, probably.

But he was right all along. Happy days!

I agree — good for him and much of the abuse was well OTT.

Just hope it doesn’t go to his head and we still get the relatively humble, down-to-earth Cheesy in his reporting and vlogging. ;-)

Miguel putting out his own personal balanced rhetoric again.

Even if there were 150 allegations time-barred and 1 not time-barred, they remain ALLEGATIONS and none have been proven.

Nothing more, nothing less.

The fine was because City didn't want to engage with what was effectively a Kangaroo Court.


And Tebas???

Messi soon to become one season closer to retirement, when his Golden Goose finally leaves Barca with an almighty hole to fill...TICK TOCK senor.

Er, isn’t he a Madrid fan? He also hates Catalans.
 
If we are making gifs we really need Adebayor sliding to the Gunner fans with a few heads replaced

Sky Sports,

What about the Premier League investigation into Manchester City?
As well as the UEFA investigation, Manchester City are also being investigated by the Premier League over financial issues, academy recruitment and third-party ownership.

That Premier League investigation - which has been running since March 2019 - remains ongoing

I did'nt know we were under investigation for 3rd party ownership?

We aren’t.

Beat me to pointing this out.

There is a reason most of these ****s are wording their drivel response in the same manner.

That's right. Here's an analogy.

You've been accused of a crime (let's say you're a football writer and have been accused of writing something factually incorrect about a football club) and you say you didn't do it. The police arrest you, investigate you, sentence you and send you to jail (because in this universe they can do that). Luckily you are allowed to appeal because you have evidence that you didn't write what they said you did and also the appeal courts exist in a universe where common sense prevails.

You're appealing the sentence (and or investigation), not the law for the crime you are accused of breaking. You agree with the law.

Why this isn't getting through to people is beyond me.

Not all our costs because if our appeal was against the non-co-operation charge as well as the main charge, we lost that part. I think they will be apportioned as the Court thinks fit.

I think We always accepted that we had not fully co-operated with UEFA. It was a clear and deliberate tactical decision. We were not banned for failing to cooperate. We were banned for breaching FFP financial rules. We were exonerated from that entirely. Hence prevailing party. If the only element of fault found by Uefa was a lack of cooperation we would not have even pursued a claim to CAS.
