Have I gone back in time and bumped into Ted Rodgers on 3-2-1?
 
A scouser I unfortunately know is always in group chats saying “Saudi Arabia” have threatened referees on our behalf and stuff like that.

He doesn’t even know which country the Sheikh is from.

He didn’t even know what we’re supposed to have done when I questioned him but still called us cheats.

Football fans are fucking stupid, that’s the problem.
Except the ones on here, natch.
 
I know there might be a consensus to the opposite on here but i really can't see UEFA being quite as stupid as we'd like to believe.
Based on nothing but my gut instinct, i still think we'll end up serving a years ban from the CL

Well I'm convinced.

Gut instinct, you say?

A right Judge Judy and Ironside, all rolled into one.

Just pulling yer pisser ;)

A bit like when you are taking off on an aeroplane, I've decided to trust the acumen of the pilot.

Not dead yet, and nor are City.
 
As far as I can see he thinks it likely CAS will reduce the ban to one year? You can be a lot more pessimistic than that. He's entitled to his opinion even if not everyone agrees with it. Let's not get like like RAWK.
I agree, I just don't think that will happen. But it is going to get very messy and legal without a doubt.
 
Wow so smar...wait what??

Thank you, what the hell he wanted to argue about is beyond me, the fact remains our Owners home nations reputation has taken a hell of a battering because of this case.
 
Stefan's blog for ninetythreetwenty is a brilliant forensic analysis of the position as he sees it. This follows the excellent pods over the weekend.

He know's what he is talking about:
The author is a more than 20 year English qualified lawyer, current public company Chief Executive Officer, former General Counsel, former financial adviser to the Board of Manchester City and an experienced litigator including in matters of complex accounting. He knows little or nothing about CAS jurisprudence or the Swiss Civil Code and freely admits he could be completely wrong on all of the above given the scarcity of public documents relating to these matters.

I know a couple of others have linked to the article but I've not seen any comment here about it. Essential reading if you can handle the legal-speak:.


Ric recommended it this morning, very good piece
