Who are they?

Stephen Warnock - Former dipper defender and Sue Smith who was a striker for England who's also a red scouse fan.

You are correct. Where an obligation exists to co-operate with investigators it is not for the subject of the investigation to decide whether or not to co-operate. It's an allegation it's very difficult to lose on and we never denied it anyway but simply offered mitigation.

If you think about it, if non-co-operation was permitted, those who were up to no good would never co-operate thus denying investigators evidence they are entitled to. So whilst we had good trust-related (and probably commercial) reasons not to co-operate, it would be an exceptional ruling to find in our favour. I think that will go to costs but @Shads may be correct as regards arbitration. I've only been involved in High Court proceedings.

It could also be said that they knew - and didnt need our input - that they were out of time and yet proceeded to drag our name through costs and ensure we spent a kings ransom on legal fees.
All things considered why should we not be permitted to claim these back. They KNEW they were out of time. It was a waste of our time, CAS time and their own time.
Not only should we be able to claim costs but we should now seek recompense for reputational damage.

I hope they do too, it’d be hilarious

Not a chance for 2 reasons.


1 .Both parties have to agree that an arbitration result at CAS is final, and legally binding before the process can even begin.Hence why City would not have actually challenged the ruling it self,had we lost.But gone after FFP in the higher Courts.

2. UEFA didn't event abide by their own statue of limitations ffs.

Not a Leg to stand on.

Well done Blues, it's great to see and feel there is still passion for our club. Especially after recent events with many fans saying they've had enough with VAR etc.

He used to go City quite often he told me once, can't remember now but I think he went to Manchester Uni.

His best mate at mcr uni was a big city fan and he used to take him to Maine road

Absolutely agree. It's a bit of a technical issue anyway but someone did ask. The point is, we're laughing.

Narrator: UEFA will not take it to the Swiss courts.

Cerefin might take this loss as a win. He was elected on a platform of leveling out the playing field.

This loss could be the best thing that could happen for him and UEFA for swinging power away from the G14.
