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

Does anyone know what the PL investigation is in relation to? Apologies if already posted. Difficult to keep up with so much going on.

Project River on twitter has mentioned that he believes anything over 6 years ago is time barred.

Thanks in advance.
 
When the exoneration leaked, a Liverpool supporting mate of mine (from Oxford) just posted this on my Fb page alongside the photo of HH with a pile of coins in a jar..... "Once again money talks. Still trying to remember where the next world cup is being held'....
I told him that spouting rubbish like that is tantamount to saying that Holland is in the UK. Geography obviously not his strong point.

They were quick to announce they wouldn’t be looking into the dippers wrong doings, I wonder how long it will be before they close the book on this fuck up by Uefa?

The book on the investigations ongoing now?

Your guess is as good as mine.

The book on the attempts to destroy City?

About fours after never.

The FINAL judgement was given to both sides at 8am. A PRELIMNARY statement listing the merits of party arguments was given to both parties some time last week. This could be challenged for inaccuracies.
So we knew last week that the main points of the UEFA case had been blown away if not the exact verdict.
In the way it operates, CAS is more of a tribunal than a court of law.

Would explain the confusion @BillyShears

Where is this from? It doesn't sound quite right - bits are believable but not in the round. If the parties got a draft copy of the award/judgment last week, it wouldn't be without the final conclusions of the panel. It may be they only saw the draft announcement yesterday AM but if they had received something more substantive last week I can't believe anything they learned at 8am was a surprise.

It'll come out one day who knew what and when! Surely if there's a new book about Pep by Pol Ballus and Lu Martin it'll be in there.

The 'leaks' on Friday didn't match the wording/comments so they may well have originated from someone, somewhere having a punt based on gut feeling coming from the positive comments of those who were there and involved in the CAS process. It'll be interesting to see. Inevitably, if someone did leak information on Friday then the MCFC of today is a somewhat different beast to the MCFC of the past and leaks are unacceptable (unless of course a leak had been authorised in some way). We'll know eventually I'm sure.

On the 'time-barred' material.... What is angering me with the media most at the moment is that many journalists/reporters are claiming that City got off on a technicality. When we see the full CAS report we should know but at the moment I reckon that they've got the angle completely wrong. If CAS couldn't consider some accusations by UEFA because of the time-barred rule then that means that MCFC couldn't present its own case in relation to those accusations or defend those accusations. Worse, it was because of a UEFA rule not MCFC's, so if anything the media should be saying City were prevented from defending/challenging UEFA's views in these areas because UEFA had a time-bar on them! I may be totally misreading this area, but it seems logical that if something couldn't be heard because it had been time-barred then that's not the accused fault, nor is it a sign of their guilt. Anyone know anything about this area?

Indeed. I always surmised that the reason there was no leak was the obvious one. Nobody actually KNEW. I’d imagine the execs had a fair idea after the hearing but could not, in any way, be certain, as couldn’t anyone on twitter or even on BM.....

They got the formal verdict on Monday but I'm pretty certain that they knew the provisional one by Wednesday night.

It's in relation to a load of smacked arses being jealous of our success.

Yes you are right but it’s not that they are confused they don’t report it because they don’t like it.
