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

[cjn]

In any event, they probably had two statements prepared, one for a positive outcome and one for a negative result.

In response to when or how the actual statement got prepared, this is clearly the correct answer.

 

[Stoned Rose]

Its a possibility that City are briefing they had no idea of the result as a courtesy to CAS.

Not having it that a result of this nature and the subsequent media attention it would receive worldwide wasn't given to both parties in advance so that lawyers could brief on media releases.

That opinion ties in with those on here who have experience of arbitration and the law.

Can't see you being wrong mate.

The clubs statement was released at 9.29, so they must have known in advance.

How far in advance, who knows.

Can people stop fixation on this - it’s neither here nor there the release time was based on a system time clock that might have been out by a minute or two and one of two prepped statements ready to publish as soon as the arbitration review was published.

“Uefa's legal department asked SPIEGEL to publish the material on Manchester City.”

Has anyone else picked up on this? If what DS are saying is correct then UEFA have been complicit in causing reputational damage to the club and been in on this right from the start of this saga, and that they didn’t open their investigation as a result of the articles being brought to their attention as previously thought. I appreciate that we don’t have issues with everyone at UEFA and Ceferin seems a decent sort but I’d love to know who at UEFA was behind this.

Dodgy as fuck mate, a pound to a penny if they were challenged on this they couldn't hide behind 'cleaning up football' as it'd be only stuff on us the wanted printed so they could get their grubby hands on it.

Im not privy to what may have transpired beforehand, only the assertion that the senior personnel did not know the verdict and the nerves were very much real.

I would not know as to your knowledge on actual legal process beforehand.

Looking from the outside I was confident that we'd be found not guilty but I was bricking it from getting up on Monday until the verdict was published. It was just like waiting for exam results.

 

[BillyShears]

I believe City sought and received the best legal counsel for the job, knowing how well the CAS hearing had gone.

You can be confident but until the verdict was announced, it was still to be known.

What a horrible situation to be in. There were no leaks to feed off for a reason.

Respect to them. As others have said they probably had a good idea. But ultimately it was indeed shit or bust Monday morning. What a result !

I know two brothers with the surname Kuntz. I'm sure I can persuade them to set up a media company. The Kuntz League has a certain ring to it.

I know triplets from Liverpool
Thieving
Dipping
Murdering

Can people stop fixation on this - it’s neither here nor there the release time was based on a system time clock that might have been out by a minute or two and one of two prepped statements ready to publish as soon as the arbitration review was published.

Fixation? Its the first time I've ever mentioned it.

I made the comment about Monica Carss-Frisk's wall of fame earlier, but another lead lawyer, Paul Harris, has wasted absolutely no time using this case to bump up his page. It's his headline achievement!
