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

[argyle]

Or they're letting them hang themselves, and will then pursue those that over step ?

...but only pursuing if they overstep is useless.

The media today knew what they were doing. They focused on the technicality of stuff being time barred. They thus ignored the overwhelming majority of the report that we were exonerated and UEFA had no evidence against us.

Their reports however look like we got off on a technicality.

Nuke the fucking whole town if Burnley. I’ve got a spare hundred quid to pay for the damage

Isn't that classed as a restoration project in Burnley?

Until they find something else. Got a feeling this won’t be the last of it to be honest.

They dug through 5.5 million emails spanning 10 years of ownership, with our execs happily discussing all sorts of things they shouldn't, and only found 6 to build their case on and 3 of those they had to edit to make them fit the narrative.

They took their shot, they missed.

None too sure about Koulibaly , 29 years old ....

Experience and quality mate.
He is right at the top of his game.
I would settle for 3-4 yrs out of him.
Gives us time to bring Garcia and our other youngsters along.

Luckily I couldn't give a fuck what the media spin is, City are in the clear as we all knew they were.

Let’s hope so.

Decent piece in the FT, which accentuates the fact that ADUG wasn't the source of funding.

Behind a paywall that, Col. They can normally be relied on to play a pretty straight bat but there was one cretin who wrote an article a couple of days before the CAS hearing, confidently stating we had no case and would lose. Is it the same author?

 

[argyle]

Daily Fail now changed their headline more favourably (but only slightly). threats abundant.

Too little too late.

Damage already done as for hours on that site people would just see that City got off on a technicality and we were cheats who didn't co-operate.

Ban them and don't give them access to the club or any players and they think twice before doing it again.

Non cooperation is an FFP breach???

It actually is ....

*Applauds*
The bookies are full every day of deadbeats and losers who backed the wrong horse and flail around looking for excuses to justify their poor life choices.
The only difference is that they don’t have columns in national newspapers

 

[meltonblue]

The one bit I don’t get is why we didn’t push the point more around why we didn’t comply with UEFA in the investigation. We had a legitimate reason not to for me but we basically made CAS’s mind up for them by saying UEFA were justified to investigate. We should have said it never justified an investigation and kept to that line throughout.

Brilliant

Plus one. Just perfect.

I don't think we should be surprised by the media's reaction. Pure advertising now only accounts for 14% of revenue. Reader revenue is more than 85%! If you can create a villain Club all the related content will be 'bought' by fans of the other clubs. You only lose one club's fans. My dad was a photographer and he joined one of the largest national newspapers in the late 1930's. One very important lesson he taught me many years ago was "don't believe what you read in the 'papers".

I think it's more they had a BFA on the end of the rifle.

They are yes.

I wish I didn't let it get to me however the club continually gets trashed daily and I'm sick of it.

David Conn should be issued with a writ. He’s basically saying CAS were corrupt and City’s nominee had a conflict of interest. CAS make a ruling thar Conn doesn’t like so the prick calls foul.

Not convinced many here will know what a BFA is, think you will need to elaborate ahah.

It's all sour grapes mate. What did you expect from a wanker like Conn.

Just turn it off, its a much brighter life :)

I turned the "written media" off a number of years ago (due to something written about a friend that was utter bollocks - and proved so), so I haven't bought any edition in longer than 10 years, and I won't click their sites either, I hope they all go out of business, and they would if people stopped buying/clicking.

3-0 is a majority is how I see it

That would be a unanimous decision. A Majority is 2:1.
