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

[M12Blue]

UEFA had no legitimacy to investigate this matter.

So illegitimate bastards, think we knew that ;)

look at the fucking state of this

Any journalist that is able to turn around this amount of copy only minutes after the report was released must have been given it in advance. That includes Tariq Panja.

So what we’re actually seeing here in all its glory is which journalists are in whose pocket.

Email even before FFP was a thing. That paper made out as if it were after.

I'm voluntarily off Twitter in protest against their failure to deal with antisemitism but there's going to be some fucking bloodletting at 9:01am tomorrow.

Checked out a lot of the football sites. Nothing at all about this.

You’re my new hero PB! Seriously, a whole series of balls on accurate calls. Great stuff!

PB for City and Swiss Ramble for European football are tops when it comes to understanding how football finances work. No one is close to them. I deal with financial statements, accounting pronouncements and public disclosures in filings daily and write equity research for a living (I cover an industry unrelated to sport in the States). Their analysis is top notch, thorough, detailed, as unbiased as can be expected. Journos who know shit about how financials even work can't hold a candle to either of them, which is why they've fucked this whole thing up while City and PB have been vindicated. Lazy fucks who don't understand the details and don't do their homework anyhow.

Colin's held our hands collectively through this whole thing in a way both me as a fan and me as a finance guy can doubly appreciate.

Delaney#s tweet about it.

I just hope someone can rewrite this CAS-conclusion in layman’s terms so that even the least talented opposing fan understands that we did nothing wrong.

So we might be done with UEFA now, but what about the FA? The investigation from Premier League is still ongoing? This should help them close their case surely? On the other hand they have no five year timeframe to take into consideration, if something shady happened prior to 2014, which they could dig up. Not that I believe we did anything wrong from day 1.

@Prestwich_Blue ,when you've had chance to read it, is there any chance you could start a new thread with bullet points and laymen's term, so the hard of learning(me) can take them in and give it back to the gobby fuckers at work

ta

Heres a bullet point for you
leaked email sent 2 years before FFP

3-0 is a majority is how I see it

Mabe the president decided not to vote having received the opinions of the other 2. So it could be 2-0.

Godot has arrived!

If you are referring to Ms Gal Godot, you know the rules!

 

[Prestwich_Blue]

Sheikh Mansour himself sent a letter to the Panel saying he had expressly not made or authorised the payment of any funds to Etihad. UEFA, rather foolishly, tried to argue that he might have been unaware of such an arrangement, something that CAS found completely implausible.

There is nothing going on domestically

Wasn't I always?

No: it used to be me.

how city got “let off”

“blatant breach of FFP rules “

If our lawyers don’t go after them for this tripe then we are weak as piss

I wish the club would take the kid gloves off. Do they not understand how pissed off us fans are over their inaction and the constant spew of lies shouted by the media who do it as they know we are a soft touch.

1) All directors an employees bar the match day squad and coaching staff/manager should not be welcome at our games against any of the teams who ganged up on us. No Hospitality, nothing. Ban them all from attending
2) Mail needs to be banned also

FA, PL already said they wouldn't do anything until knowing if we were guilty with UEFA's case.
