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

Where have you got this from?

I can't see it anywhere

Thanks

There was a very low key announcement by City a few weeks ago. I'll see if I can dig something out.

Americans are the worse possible owners, all about profit.

We are so very lucky to have HRH.

Nothing wrong with generating profit, we differ in that our owners continue to invest that profit in the Club whereas the other owners remove it for other purposes.

Obviously, our owner is not in it for fun.

A huge difference taking profit out of a company, rather than investing and watching the value of the business grow enormously.

Burnley now find themselves with a big debt as a result of American leveraged buy out. What happens next to that club and the attitude of their supporters will be very instructive.

I did see a breakdown of it (can't remember where) which seemed to suggest that it was not going to help their finances much - that the negatives/repayment would have a negative effect on the cash available.

It may take a while to become clear to the fans.

Wonderful news, CFG was always Ferran's baby, we always needed a full time CEO at City and Omar is a class act, just like his big boss.

That's not quite right. Omar Berrada (who is definitely a class act) is now COO of Football Operations at CFG, working closely with Ferran Soriano (who is CEO of CFG) & Txiki Begiristain on football matters. City don't have a CEO as such but Danny Wilson is running things, with the title of Managing Director, and he reports to Roel De Vries, who came in from Nissan and is COO of CFG. Hoping to meet Roel in a couple of weeks.

Very true, it ultimately depends on when and how the owner(s) decide to finally cash in on their investment(s)...
Some investors are in for the long run, some cut and run. Fortunately, ours seem to at least have a longer term growth plan.
Some clubs aren't so lucky.... ;-)

Ok thanks for that, fantastic that we have so many good people on board.

Thanks for that info PB.
Our management structure starting to look like and even attract big hitters from other sectors of industry (eg Nissan).
Definitely showing the rest of the know it alls at top level in football that it's sector is not as special as they thought.

Aha, thanks. I read it somewhere, perhaps buried in another story. Maybe they have worked out things slightly differently to what was expected. Certainly Soriano is no longer CEO of City, so I obviously picked that up correctly.
I am slightly concerned at these double roles, as CFG expands attention will be divided, possibly to our detriment.
