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

CAS Report: "There is no evidence that agreements were backdated or that MCFC otherwise retrospectively tried to cover up any alleged violations following the publication of the Leaked Emails."

"The majority of the panel finds that Etihad sponsorship agreements are presumed to be negotiated at fair value and that MCFC, HHSM, ADUG and Etihad are considered not to be 'related parties

- The Leaked emails comprise admissible evidence - The Panel is 'not comfortably satisfied' that #MCFC disguised equity funding from HHSM and/or ADUG as sponsorship contributions from Etihad

"In the absence of a link being proven between HHSM and/or ADUG and Etihad (as indicated in the figure below), the majority of the Panel finds that UEFA's theory on disguised equity funding remains unsubstantiated.

It still really boils my piss. UEFA take this flimsy evidence, and on that basis ban us for 2 years and drag our good name through the mud. Why the fuck should we pay them a penny. They are the ones that should be recompensing us for damages and bloody slander.

Bastards.

Maybe a bit of a stretch, but this could’ve been UEFA’s plan all along. They knew they didn’t have a case but they banned City based on nothing, knew City would appeal to CAS but still got all the media attention in the process, adding more public suspicion to the club and trying to ruin our rep for as long as possible. Even if we won this case, the damage is almost irreparable.
 
By the way, if anyone thinks the press coverage of this is unacceptable,
