From the Express today “...”Aguero will face no action for grabbing at the shoulder of assistant referee”... The description of what was clearly a conciliatory action of a gentle tap of the shoulder as “grabbing” demonstrates beyond any reasonable doubt what a pile of utter drivel football...

As Khaldoon says in his interview they can say what they want, we continue with our business model etc. The media know we are now the team to beat so every setback is greeted with faux shock horror and detailed analysis. A mixture of click bait, fear and jealousy is the motivation of most sports...

I don’t think anything can be read into the press conference about his future with us. He specifically said he was lucky to be at the club and have such great resources including players at his disposal. He did look very ill tempered but given the predictably weighted and banal questions he...

In terms of why did we argue the admissibility of the emails, and the time barred aspect, it is the duty of the legal reps. to advise every avenue available and the chances of success with each particular argument. Remember the accusations were that we breached a set of rules which unfairly seek...

Thanks to PB project river and others for their stupendous efforts. Inspired by them I have read and reread the CAS judgement. It is telling how often they refer to no credible evidence, lack of evidence, innuendo and other terms and phrases that in legal code damn UEFA’s case as woeful. I agree...

At the moment yes but I am sure the tide will turn...

There is no possible legal basis..UEFA is a busted flush, but it’s entirely their own fault

The Correct interpretation of the actual words of the CAS decision seems beyond these thickos. We are cleared of allegations of wrongdoing that never took place, or that we have already been punished for. Has nobody realised the fine was reduced. Why is that significant and why any fine? I think...

“ Nuno refuses to be drawn into discussions...about anything other than the next game” I like Nuno, think he’s a class act and he is right to distance himself. If all the managers agreed confine their remarks to the game it would stop much of the shit stirring the press so like to do. This time...

It’s the sheer arrogance and hypocrisy that gets me. Did they really think, and even more astonishing, did their lawyers really think they could have any influence on the CAS decision?

Totally agree with this. I’m no fan of either but the press is using them to stoke up a war of words between the managers. Pep is having none of it. His press conference was a masterclass of iron will expressed in diplomatic terms. I used to think the agenda and conspiracy theorists were ott but...

Fair enough but revenge is a dish best served cold. Our chairman & chief exec. (and by the way those guys have bottle) will be calmly considering the best way to shame the lot of them. I am not ITK but no way will this crap go unanswered. Give them a little more time...

I think the club will bide its time pending the full judgement then prepare a statement calling out this ill informed, malicious nonsense. Something really must be done to counter this almost unbelievable tide of vitriol.

Agree with this. Also if, and it’s still an if imho the deal was offered then City must be supremely confident of their evidence. Otherwise to turn down such a deal would be reckless, and our owners aren’t reckless. But why would UEFA offer us any deal?

Pep saying he admired how Liverpool were so focussed they didn’t even say thank you for the guard of honour.... drawing attention to their lack of class whilst appearing to praise them.

The tax and criminal investigation points raised are, as has already been pointed out by our most knowledgable posters, red herrings. It’s hard enough getting your mind round the actual issue, without complicating it further with matters that are not and will not be an issue. Winding back, all...

So it is confirmed, albeit on hearsay evidence only, that a deal was offered. If the offer was another fine then City must be certain, hopefully after considered legal advice, that their evidence is irrefutable otherwise our lawyers would have urged acceptance so I feel a bit more confident (for...

I usually read rather than post. Like most blues i swing from optimism to despair and what worries me is this. If our evidence of no wrongdoing is irrefutable how can things have got this far? I can only hope that the UEFA investigation was so rushed that there was not time to consider properly...

Nail on head

This FFP nonsense should be subjected to legal challenge. If our premier league collectively had any sense they should challenge it as being in breach of free competition. As it is it may be down to an individual club to present a legal challenge. Personally I don't see why it can't be left to...
