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

I don't think Martin Samuels is exaggerating when he says we'd have been destroyed as a major force if we'd have lost.

It would have been back to the bad old days of "knowing our place" - ie: firmly below Utd & Liverpool.

Thank goodness we won.

Samuel is a proper old-school journalist who is not driven by clickbait. He knows that the real story behind the smear campaign against City is a bigger one than the "Arab oil cheats" narrative peddled by most of his churnalist colleagues.

Martin Samuel has been the most balanced journo through all this right from the start - unlike his industry colleagues. His eminently sensible articles have proved correct.
 
Well Blues off to bed now.

I suspect like most fellow blues I didn’t get much sleep last night but I know for sure i’ll have a great sleep tonight with a big smile on my face.

Opening that CAS website this morning was like opening up a childhood school exam result.

What a fantastic day topped off by the rags dropping points & back down to 5th. Remind me again if that gets you into the Chumps League.

Haha...night all!

Couldn't have done much better if Kaldoon had written it himself. Samuels is the only decent and honest journalist amongst the pack of shysters and frauds who peddle their shite for the pathetic press in this country.

A shining beacon in amongst a sea of utter shite. Well done MS , you are the man .

Mr Samuel take a bow sir, excellent well balanced article that tells it like it is. You can always rely on Samuel's for a quality piece of journalism, unfortunately there is a real dearth of talented journalists in the UK media who are not prepared to pander to the Rags and Dippers.
 
Allez Allez Allez


Uefa took on Cityyy
For fiddling the books.
Shiek Mansoor was ready

The G14 said ban them

Time for bed, work in the morning..

Just want to say 'What an absolutely brilliant day it's been today'

The shit we've had shovelled at us by all and sundry for the best part of a decade has been shown up to be the biggest, modern day which hunt of a football club on record..!

Day after day, month after month and year after year, we have had to field these attacks on our club and hold our council..

Well today you fuckers, the boot's on the other foot..!

We're no cheats, liars and frauds..!

We are quite simply, the best football team this Country has ever seen..!

Our records and achiements have been acquired on merit..!

We haven't got the most expensive footballers in the world, we haven’t broken the transfer record, we don't have knobs, playing for us, managing us or running our club..

We have an owner like no other. An owner who has redeveloped large swathes of East Manchester, created 100's of local jobs and has embraced the community as a whole..!

We are MANCHESTER CITY, the team I'm proud to support, the team I'm proud to be associated with..!



Suck that up, you spineless, gutless twats..!
 
Just want to leave my own personal shout out to Ferran Sorriano. The man looked straight down the camera lens and called out these allegations as completely unfounded while this process was still in the balance and put his neck on the line. For me that was the moment I went to 90+% sure we would be ok as there was no doubting the man's sincerity only the possibility of a UEFA stitch-up to consider. The whole club deserve credit really for the quiet dignity with which this smear campaign has been handled.

Nobody gets as much ( little ) action as I do

To be serious for a minute,i have never liked soriano ,he never talks to us but goes off around the world talking to everyone else,along with what you guys have said about it being like Disney when you go to the etihad I have never felt a connection with him,I though he was shady as fuck but on this He has played a blinder,him being in a selfie with the others makes me think he is a good chap as well
 
Horrible wait this morning watching Sky Sports News. The verdict was late and when it emerged there was an uncomfortable silence in the studio as we ripped their pre-prepared script apart. Similar on Talkshite - we left them with nothing to say.

Worst comment was by Sue Smith on the BBC 'They're still being fined so they must have broken the rules'. She needs to do some research before making any stupid comments.

Gary Nevilles just said the truth about City, outside investment and FFP. His 6 minute rant is on Sky Sports website and app if you’ve not seen it.
In fairness to the guy I’ve got to take my hat off to him. Well said to him!

His integrity has been steeled in my mind after that.

Yes, it means more coming from a guy who has been a hate figure for us. Standing against the narrative.
