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

[simon23]

Could UEFA still take it to the Swiss Courts?

guy on Sky sports said yes BUT the margins for doing so are very very narrow - it would have to be a on a procedural technicality and not on the evidence

Just copied and pasted form city page on facebook so I dont know if this is true:

La Liga president Javier Tebas has declared the Court of Arbitration for Sport as being ‘not up to standard’ after overturning Manchester City’s two-year European ban.
Tebas is a long-time critic of City’s funding model and has accused both them and Paris St-Germain of ‘financial doping’ in the past.
“We have to reassess whether the Cas is the appropriate body to which to appeal institutional decisions in football," he said. "Switzerland is a country with a great history of arbitration, the Cas is not up to standard.”

A quick google translate :-

"The CAS panel wasn't composed of right-wing islamophobic nut-jobs so we need to put that right."

I’m a posh/street combo. @SebastianBlue is just posh.

But do either you have your own civets?

midday news on Sky Sports, totally different angle taken, even stating we should be aggrieved that we have to pay a fine!

I’m going to pop to the Guardian, then the Times and then the Independent. I’d imagine that Conn, Jackson, Evans and Syed have all penned a piece about this mornings outcome......

Boris Johnson wrote two pieces before deciding which way to jump.

The funny thing about Tebas’s comments are UEFA, as well as City, said they were happy with how the process went and both said they felt it was fair.

As I fully expected the integrity of our club has been confirmed, the hate campaign by UEFA, the Sky sports cartel and the German equivalent of the Sun newspaper has been exposed. Now I hope that the authorities, after issuing an apology, sort the real problems out in football which are clubs being run at a level where they are 1/2 billion in debt, the VAR farce which favours certain clubs and the total bias towards all clubs not members of the original Sky sports 4.

Why are Leicester fans pissed?
We aren't responsible for their poor form post lockdown and implosion against Bournemouth

Exactly. The scrammble for 5th place was embaressing for these so called great clubs like the Rags, Spurs and Arsenal. And Leicester had 3rd place in the bag untill they turned into a sunday league team. Fuck all to do with us that these teams are shite.

Exactly. Sometimes the angry people get very very angry if you just smile smugly at them :) :) :)

Apologies, if already posted. Can't keep up.
