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

I liked this line 'Evans said the story now "appears to have been invented", but at the time "had just enough plausibility to be seductive".

Bit like UEFA's charges really.

Yeah, that's a nice one too. He really was a clueless arse. He was brought in to add some "street cred" but didn't have a scooby what he was doing. The Game's readership plummeted by about 15% in six months (even faster than the main paper).

The scribblers and commentators virtually to a man nailed their colour's to the Uefa mast. Apart from maybe Martin Samuel, not one of them knows the ins and outs of ffp.
How on earth can you pontificate about City when you haven't a clue about the subject.
The only time I get to hear their mutterings is when I come onto Bluemoon and that's the way it'll stay, I don't buy a newspaper or subscribe to sky.
There's a great story in this for a journalist to unravel but I won't hold my breath waiting for one.

You would have thought it would be a perfect Panorama episode.

not holding my breathe.
 
Ex UEFA president Infantino now has a criminal investigation against him?

We were exonerated of breaking sports rules, yet the big clubs and UEFA are constantly accused of flouting actual laws (and found guilty often)

Im fairly sure law braking is worse than being accused and exonerated of sports rule breaking!

In this article

https://www.spiegel.de/sport/cas-ur...-frage-a-9ce67020-5f9e-4c3b-b307-cc855f04c0c7

Spiegel comes up with a couple of more leaked emails in support of their view that City is guilty.

I am actually sad that the serious reply to a CAS process, in which it was found that the initial and doctored set of stolen emails did not comprise any proof whatsoever of any wrong doing by City, seems to be to show a few more stolen emails. These were obviously not compromising enough to be including in the first instance. The legal understanding of this once serious news magazine is problematic to say the least.

Basically Spiegel is implying here that City's witnesses in the CAS process have been lying, that the involved, multinational companies have been lying, and that the international auditors of these companies have been lying. Off course Sheik Mansour himself will have been lying as well. They also hint that the CAS judges themselves are dodgy.

There is off course no mentioning of the doctoring of the stolen emails they did, in order to throw a maximum negative light on City.

Der Spiegel is firmly a participant in the great fight over control and money in football, which is what FFP is really about. To be precise Der Spiegel sides with the Cartel of clubs who owns UEFA, and fight with all means to eliminate anyone who dares to go for a piece of the football business.
 
Seems that "a self deception bordering on hypnosis" is being enacted by certain journos.
Used to this with Pool supporters but ......

the same der spiegel who refused to supply this to UEFA at the time, or publish to support UEFA's case at the time, which says it all. Posturing trying to insinuate deceit by repeating accusations that have been disproved at CAS.

"We published some out-of-context, doctored emails to try to screw City. It didn't work. What next?"

"Let me think. I know! We'll publish some more out-of-context doctored emails."

"Genius".
