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

[Citizen Green]

The High Court judge effectively gave a "put up or shut up message" at the last hearing. She addressed concern at the delay to lawyers from both sides. I think there is a good chance the whole investigation will be "timed out." Remember that it is considering complaints about our accounts dating back to 2011. Judges are not usually stupid people and can see through the politics of cases like this.
Personally I think that, like UEFA who had no evidence, the PL will be happy for the case to collapse. It gets them off the hook with the Cartel clubs and allows them to claim that "City got off on a technicality."

Difference is though, the PL have access to all of the emails as per the court order in 2021. UEFA only had the Der Speigel leaks believe it or not, & DS actually declined to give them anything further that hadn’t been published is my understanding.

I do think the PL will charge us at some point given how long this has dragged on, can’t see how it just goes away. What severity of charge and if it will/can stick is anyones guess. Wouldn’t be surprised to see the club/league do some sort of out of arbitration settlement to put it to bed.

Timed out ! That is just what the hateful 8 want. That way they (their media lackeys) can say we were guilty but got off on a technicality.
Bollocks get a judge to tell them to put up or shut up. Innocent or guilty.

Yep, true Geordie has been banging on for years about the fa and uefa needing to tighten up on cash injections from middle Eastern owners, so he should be happy Newcastle are coming under so much scrutiny

The clown still thinks Manchester city are breaking all the rules and cheating, hahaha could you see the so-called elite letting Manchester city cheat without punishment ? FFP been through the books and still nothing

Newcastle will never be allowed to become a major club and the truth is there no more room for them and with the new rules, you need a worldwide fan base with winning the Premier League 4 or 5 times and then a major media image for the sponsorship

Show me any of the so-called elite clubs books and go through them with a fine tooth comb, then lets talk

Unfortunately they don’t have to look at any other teams books in such detail because they’re not under investigation- it’s not in their interests - the evil 8 are in control

an investigation that has been going on for how long, personally think they have nothing and are just keeping it open and saying there investigating to apease certain clubs

Nah. They’ve got something but it’s probably something that if they pursue fully City will come back with proof that every other club has done worse. Who will blink first?

I thought it was the Saudis that got away with murder ?

No it was the scousers.

As others have stated , Richard Masters is just providing lip service to the'istree clubs and the media , there would be a furore if he stated the investigation is dead and FFP breaches unproven. There is absolutely no chance the Premier league will be taking any action , they would have been forensically examining our acccounts for years and they have found nothing
In fact the club should give the Premier league an ultimatum , put up or shut up , we sent UEFA running away with their tail between their legs its time to do the same to Masters and the clubs he is trying to appease.

So why aren’t the club doing this?? It’s becoming a mystery

Meanwhule UEFA’s ‘investigation’ into the internal leaks from Parry and Gill’s minions seems to have been quietly punted into the long grass. Merseyside police couldn’t have done a worse job

The problem is that City's lawyers have been spinning things out as well. I suspect both sides just want it to go away. The hate campaign against City will continue in any event. Being cleared by CAS didn't stop it.

No quote, even in The Times article.

He was probably directly asked and just said ‘err yeah’ or something to get them to move on.

Written by Martyn Ziegler by the way.

'If City are still being investigated, blink'
