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

We should be focusing on what Klopp and Maureen said, they are in the game and are breaking the rules of the game by issuing such outlandish comments. Klopp in particular is one vile human being who wants eviscerating in a court, we should complain initially to the Premier League and the FA.

Maureen is trying to remain relevant when in real life he's sinking faster than a hooker on canal street who's been offered a tenner and a bag of semi-warm chips.
 
Can all our twitters get tweeting all this? To conn,Delaney, Harris? See how they explain yet another vested interest in this whole rotten process!
 
My boss, who’s a Bradford fan, has just come back in today having been off so far this week.

He said we must be guilty to get the fine.

I explained what the fine was for and gave Samuel’s analogy of being cleared of murder but picking up a small fine for resisting arrest and he said “ahh I didn’t know that, fair enough”.

He’s very switched on and fair and balanced.

The fact he’s quickly checked the press about the case, with little interest and come away thinking what he did before I explained, is worrying, that’s what a lot apathetic fans will think.

It’s why we get shit for empty seats, no fans, shit fans, financial doping, human rights etc. etc.

Mud sticks and they’ve chucked a lot of mud at us.

Didn’t stop people misquoting him.

Absolute Radio’s 6pm headlines tonight involved “Jose Mourinho says City escaping a ban is a disaster for football”.

He didn’t even say anything close to that.

Even stations/sources not involved in football are in the fucking agenda.

Just solidifies my view that basically everything you hear/read in the MSM is clickbait, sensationalist crap that profits on engaging the easily led.
 
Hope that yesterday's tirade from Klopp was at the behest of his owners and perhaps he might have a conscience today. As we were the champions why were we not involved in the vetting of the new premier league chairman. Who decided it should be Liverpool and United, was there a vote? perhaps Sky made that decision. Odds on that when next season's fixtures come out we are at Anfield late in the season in the hope for Sky that crowds will be back.

We know it's rotten, but it still amazes me how they have managed to permeate the entire organisation.

The judgment will pretty bland on the point I think. "The Panel finds that UEFA was unable to prove the allegations to the required standard" and that is those allegations it actually even gives a view on given limitation. Anyway expect more negative media but I doubt they have anywhere to go now.

I was hoping that based on the award from CAS1 where McDougall slapped down Leterme for his hysterical reaction to the accusations of leaking we might get a little bit of a "Why the fuck did you bring this loser of a case?" kind of comment, even through diplomatic legalese.

Given CAS already seems to have established in the PSG case when the clock starts ticking on the time sensitive UEFA decisions, to make the same argument about whether something is time-barred or not seems like wasting the courts time.

Think you need to check again, he was just an ITV board representative for United.

He was a director for Liverpool and Arsenals media businesses though.
 
Football is tribal and we are in a tribal war. If we go after the various aforementioned twats with legal action, it will just feed the “oil rich bullies” argument.

In one sense, I’d like to have seen City smash the whole FFP concept. Then it would have been a principled victory instead of one conveniently portrayed as a technicality. However, that was only on the cards if we lost the CAS appeal.

Accept it, guys, we’ll be hung for a sheep or hung for a lamb. Just savour the bitterness of the losers and lap it up.

My guess is he wont say anything and will use this to further distance UEFA from its so called impartial disciplinary body and that slowly but surely resignations will follow as the broom is taken from the cupboard and the floor swept clean.

I doubt it
 
Is it to far a stretch to say that anyone with previous links to a football club should be excluded from working for a football governing body, or at the very least must have all ties with said club cut for at least x amount of time?.

But why do they all come from the same 4 or 5 clubs?

Why isn't there a Schalke, or Lazio, or Valencia former director getting jobs in UEFA? It's always the same clubs.
