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

[Beaker]

It’s nowhere to be seen on the Mails website anymore and no other media outlet that I’m aware of has run with it. I really don’t think this has taken off in quite the way that Harris and the MoS thought it would.

UEFA are based in Switzerland. CAS is a Swiss court of arbitration.

Although based in Switzerland it’s not the reason that CAS is used by UEFA. Both UEFA AND FIFA and most other sporting bodies make it part of their constitution that disputes, unable to be resolved during their internal process, are ultimately referred to CAS, and their decision is respected by both parties and not taken to the civil courts, not withstanding the possibility of the condition in CAS statute Cleary the PL don’t have any reference to CAS in their discipline procedure Section Z of PL Handbook

Well Harris got plenty of attention and probably had a good giggle about winding City fans up. And he probably made enough money to pay his car tax and stop the energy company cutting off his supply.

But no one else has run with it, as you said, which tells you how shite an article it was.

Ferguson would never let these media people close to the stadium.
we invite them, give them VIP treatment, and they happily put our name into the mud. I am sure they cannot wait until they can feed and drink free of charge in Etihad again.

all I would serve for them is a dry slice of bread that has mold on it and rotten fish. eat that and then write your article.

We should be sure to provide them with plenty of straws to grasp at, then sour grapes for dessert washed down with copious amounts of bitter lemon.

And whatever they get for main course, make sure it's extremely oily.

Wouldn't hold your breath about bad stories on City. I understand the Daily Fail has a couple of other exposes.
A source claims Fernandinho was caught reading a bedtime story to his children wearing a pair of dungarees. Benjamin Mendy has been pictured running around a chinese all you can eat buffet, dressed as a French Maid, with a bowl of chicken chow mein over his head, shouting "chase me".
The Fail is demanding all City's PL titles are taken off them and Rodrigo forced to work in a Siberian gulag with only polar bear piss to drink.

might the club have had a “quiet” word with the Fail - via our solicitors?

Just a side note that banning journos like this just serves the "they tried to silence me" narrative they are desperate to sell and feeds their persecuted speaking truth to power trip they've been setting up with the Abu Dhabi weaponised fan fiction they write.

The article already talked about "gags" preventing them reporting. Heroic journalism getting a place to report from court. Twitter full of back slaps for brave investigatory journalism and Rui Pinto about to be canonised. Not since Wayne Rooney shinned an over head kick has so much praise be reserved for something of so little actual merit simply because of who the goal was scored against.

The club engaging publicly with this discourse gives credence to the absurdity and i fail to see how this is anything but an exercise in provocation baiting the club into a response that will be mocked and ridiculed.

As fans we may be a little frustrated by our lack of action yearning for the days of Mancini bloodying noses and kicking ass but don't be fooled. Our club is responding to shrieks of financial doping and cheating by attempting to sign two of Englands key players for huge amounts of money.

This is not the actions of a shy bullied club but one confident in its position and determined to steer its own course. It is a big middle finger to the haters who can't even grasp their own logic. Succesful clubs can spend more money because they have more money due to their success. Hang on how come City have so much money? Um maybe because we've been the most successful english team of the last decade? Maybe because when others were buying Stuart Downing, Charlie Adam, Phil Jones, Ashley Young, Gervinho and Scott Parker we signed Sergio Aguero

These judgements all came out last week. It is the detail of the hearings in March. It is very technical. @BillyShears and I take on the current situation here...NEW. On all podcast platforms for free...

@projectriver @BillyShears

Thank you chaps, very informative and much appreciated

And I feel it's my duty to counteract his smears with the truth. Because that gives other City fans the ammunition they need to take on the morons.

It certainly does Colin, and I’ve quoted you many times! Cheers for all your work on this as always
