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

He's already been banned from the club previously for mis-information. Clearly he is out to spread more shit as he knows he isn't getting back in soon.

Lying fucker - and part of the corrupt BBC reporting network . Fucking disgrace of an organisation paid for by the taxpayers.

We should put him on slander/libel watch. Sting in the tail in everything he says and writes about us.

More proof if it was ever needed that this whole fight has been one, not for our ability to compete in the CL for a year or two, but for our very existence as a top club.

What a brilliant article. A must read for those who thought talk of our being destroyed for a generation if we had lost today was so so ott.

The reaction to today has showed that this isn’t over yet.

There’s a couple of key bits to me. The first one is the narrative being set around the evidence being not established. I have a feeling a few will have even more egg on their faces when the CAS details fully come out and it shows that the evidence was so easily refutable it begs the question why Uefa felt it was anywhere near conclusive enough in the first place.

The second bit is around the time barring. I’ve seen a few journalists make snide remarks about the best lawyers or us getting off on a technicality. I have not seen one properly question how on earth Uefa could think they could possibly charge us, breaching their own regulations in doing so. Not only that but also after being pulled up by CAS for trying to do exactly the same already when they overruled them in the PSG case.

If you couple those two together, it’s beyond incompetence to me, to the point of even wondering if this outcome is actually what Uefa wanted all along (conspiracy theory I know!). Show publicly they’re doing what the ECA wanted them to knowing that it was destined to fail and then use that as a basis to properly overhaul the system.

The fact that not a single journalist has properly picked up on that though and not really questioned the real story here, which is the actions of Uefa and the underlying motives behind it, means there’s still a lot more mileage in this yet.

Bring it on :)

It shows vindictiveness over integrity.

The record viewing figures for our game against Southampton must be very worrying as it shows we are hoovering up fans at the expense of the likes of M Utd and L'pool. The "Emptyhad" myth is equally deliberate to give the impression City do not have fans. We are ignored or only figure in negative stories in the media with little recognition of our achievements that are consistently underplayed.

The FFP allegations are part of the negative narrative drip. Parties within UEFA saw it as a way of delivering a knockout blow to our aspirations. Now it is all in the open, game on.

Some of these "journalists" may find they and their paymasters have backed a loser.

Brilliant, deserves so many kudos points for his refusal to jump on the bandwagon with most of the British sports press. It must have been a lonely and uncomfortable time, sitting in the same room as some of those journalists and he's not even a City fan.


Not even finished reading the full thing yet, I'm just really impressed with how he put this:
Financial fair play is the elite's power grab. It is their ploy to turn a moment in time into permanence. And Manchester City broke through.

The problem with modern journalism for every Martin Samuel there are a dozen knobheads like Herbert playing to an audience , Samuel gets my utmost respect becasuse he also continually goes against his employers agenda , he's a dying breed unfortunately , the new media are bloggers , and populist liars and best ignored.
