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

[Withnail]

Some scouse knobhead on Talkshite now speculating what would happen if the ECA clubs refuse to play City and PSG. Gough also mentioning that City had the best lawyers and 'got away with it'.

Just heard the absolute bellend, got a short memory these Dippers, Scousers failed FFP several years ago.

Herbert excelling himself in the Fail, the bitter Scouse bastard.

He’s a disgrace. Can’t wait for Samuels article in the coming days. How is it possible that two colleagues who work with each other have two completely different opinions on FFP and City in general?

Exactly

I know this has been covered but for my benefit can someone explain again please. I thought anything over 5 years old had already been investigated, we had paid our pinch and been released by the settlement agreement. So why is this 'time barring' not a red herring because we had already 'done our time' for any breaches that occurred more than five years ago.

HAHAHA....First caller on TS Drive Time, a scouser....says the ECA should prevent us from playing by getting clubs to refuse to oppose us! :)

Liverpool already did that last week.

 

[GRB]

Please Rabin, when ready, come back and put the so called journos to count.

 

[Cheesy]

Fucking hell, how I wish the club would start going after these bastards now.

It's very clear that the press have taken the headline part of the decision about "the alleged breaches reported by the Adjudicatory Chamber of the CFCB were either not established or time-barred." and just reduced it down to "time barred".

So many pieces are coming out about how this is a technical victory, how there's no moral victory, how we just escaped through incompetence over timings. They are going to look so monumentally stupid if the CAS full judgement comes out and most of the charges were decided on the "not established" end of the spectrum and not the time-barred end.

They just never learn. We will be doing all of this again on Friday or whenever CAS publish it.

They seemingly refuse to accept that UEFA just didn’t have anything on City. Certainly not to the extent required. As if UEFA would have gone this far without realising that their own rules dictate there can be no punishment. I fully expect the details to show that each and every email they had was comprehensively rebutted by City with the true context of them being highlighted. They simply had nothing on us. Just a smear campaign, which in some ways was still somewhat successful.

His English is truly appalling.

Grammatically or just that everything he writes is appalling? Could be either.

they were trying to say we’d lied and covered up the source of the money. We were originally fined for not making the break even requirements. Chokes them we’ve been profitable for several years since

Was she related to Matias?

lmao forgot his name, the point still stands!

 

[OrigamiNinja]

Just listened to that scouse prick on TS. Fucking clueless. It’s one thing having an opinion on FFP (right or wrong), it’s another entirely to start spewing absolute shite about governments etc. This tit was basically accusing us of getting intelligence agencies involved. Yeah mate, when we heard the charges we got on the blower to James Bond to sort it for us. Cock.

 

[itisrising]

Man this feels better than a CL victory. UEFA and the cartel attempted to destory the club, it was our single greatest threat in the post takeover era and could've been disastrously bad. Buzzing it went our way and our name has been cleared.

The trouble is that most of them deny it's true or claim they never heard anything about it.

Anyone done the Hitler/Bunker thing yet ?

 

[mjkismgs]

The narrative the media pushing is, they only got off cause the evidence was time barred. Pretty much every paper. What trust I had in the media has been erroded by this saga. They really have no shame.

On Talksport this morning after a few minutes of Danny Murphy actually saying some sensible things about accepting the verdict and how the outcome was the best thing for football, because nobody would really want to win titles or qualify for competitions on the back of better teams being excluded for dubious reasons, the presenter leading the discussion for Talksport basically ignored all that and launched into "Well it's all just about breaches being time barred" - this within an hour of the verdict. Of course I switched off but this was a minor example of a huge societal problem: those in a position to explain the actual facts to a mass audience couldn't give a toss about that, instead they actively encourage and spread disinformation in order to try to maximise their audience.

 

[chaddblue]

I'm pleased that our detractors and haters are fuming and going with the angle that we've got away with cheating

It proves that it is hurting them so so much and it proves that they know we're a beast that will eventually devour them all

 

[Ardwick Green Blue]

Opposition supporters raging and our enemies in the media spouting bollocks....


It's all good :)

 

[NorthamptonBlue]

Lots of vitriol from journalists in The Fail but the comments section is noticeably in our favour. It seems EUFA is almost as unpopular with other fans as it is with us.
