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

Are City just going to take it all lying down again, or are we going to start going after organisations now like der Spiegel, certain members of the press etc?. The latest attacks on our club says to me that the time is now to stop all these niceties we've shown in the past and to start fighting back. We've tried to be liked for too long now, let's go on the front foot now City and give it them back.

Did you miss Pep's interview?

This is a good summery of where we are.

No doubt our management are well versed in crisis management and damage limitation, because that's where we are right now.

Tempting as it is to come out all guns blazing, with legal letters flying to every fucker who even thinks about passing wind in our direction, it will not work. SKY seem to have changed their tack a bit, but for the most part Monday's decision has now been interpreted as we're guilty and we got away with it.

We simply have no handle on the narrative.

I have no clue as to what we are going to do next.

I suspect our club know exactly what we will do next.
Patience is a virtue.

You seem to be a little off the pace.

That's the thing, the cartel don't have to win in court. They are already winning the media war and winning it quite convincingly. We won at CAS but you wouldn't think so, the way it has been portrayed in the media. Clubs will quite happily put pressure on UEFA to take this further, because even if they know they are unlikely to win the appeal, it drags this whole thing out for another year or two, basically leaving the club under the same dark cloud we have been under for the past two seasons. They are portrayed as the good guys, City the baddies/cheats. They win, even when they lose and unfortunately, it looks like we lose, even when we win.

The more UEFA string this out, and the more we prove our innocence in actual courts, the stronger our case is that this is an orchestrated campaign to damage the reputation of the club. UEFA would actually be ruined financially - like cease to exist ruined - if they take this further. I’m not sure any amount of pressure from the g13 will cause UEFA to commit suicide.

Even Chris Sutton’s face gave it away, you could see he was thinking what a dickhead.

Completely, what I can't understand is how you can just say "they got off on a technicality" before the full statement has been released. Although I'm probably giving him too much credit that he's aware there is more to come. Also the whole time-barred thing leople are latching on to. This doesn't mean that City have been found guilty of things that have been time-barred. It just means they're inadmisable because of when they occurred.

I mean, he even said we'd dragged out feet with CAS. He should have been called out on that there and then.

Prick

I agree with you.
We need to get more media savvy or employ experts who are.
Their job to counter the narrative.

Apart from he makes it sound like rules are handed down by a higher authority (an impartial governing body) whereas in reality FFP for UEFA and the PL were mastermind in the OT Boardroom.

Sure that’s a view we share, however as a comparative quote to those of bingo and moaner, it’s fair enough

Don’t think can do anything really until we can see the ruling in full. I expect a few phone calls after that issuing warnings
