I genuinely believe that had Leicester won yesterday, we may have seen a different verdict... possibly a year, but hey ho, now united are likely to get CL football next season by way of finishing fourth we are okay!

Do one.....
They really cannot stand that they are all wrong can they haha. Funny watching them quickly change the narrative just still make it negative towards the club
Probably already posted but
Sports journalism is a mess.
So many narratives being invented out of thin air, we all have access to the same information at the moment, and that’s the CAS press release - nothing more. Full report in a couple of days yet people are making up there own interpretations to suit their agenda
Oh well, loving the tears

Just to point out > We've been fined for not cooperating with the investigation. This is a clause in FFP, not in ANY other legal system around the world.
If you're accused of breaking the law, there is no requirement that you comply with the requests of those claiming you broke the law. You are allowed to mount as strong a defense as possible, with or without saying anything.
Imagine GMP booking someone for GBH and then when the person is found not guilty they fine him for not providing the information that would help them strengthen their case (if it existed).

Someone who's able to accept the decision and then talk about what it means without getting all bitter:
I don`t think he`s ever been a disgruntled media hack towards City as he knows which side his bread is buttered, with Pep at the helm.
Personally I think he gets too much shit thrown at him by some Blue Mooners.
Your belief would be wrongI genuinely believe that had Leicester won yesterday, we may have seen a different verdict... possibly a year, but hey ho, now united are likely to get CL football next season by way of finishing fourth we are okay!

Way back when all this started following those leaked emails and UEFA’s investigation I remember the abuse I (and many other fans) got for simply reserving judgement until a proper, transparent legal process with triangulation of material reached its conclusion. Time after time we were told by rival fans or certain media figures to ‘accept the verdict’ and we were ridiculed for asking for a transparent legal process to reach its conclusion. Because of this today feels so satisfying. Apologies from those who abused us (as a group and as individuals) would be appropriate but we know we won’t get that. Instead those who told us to ‘accept the verdict’ will mostly be publishing their own negative slant and looking for excuses or they’ll be banging on about the €10m fine as if that’s significant when it only actually means we chose not to comply with the demands of a process we didn’t agree with.
I’ve seen some academics and others focusing on sports law say they are surprised by the verdict but - and this is important - those of us who’d taken the time and trouble to talk with leading officials and had listened to what City was actually saying knew that once a proper, transparent legal process was followed City would be fine. Those leaked emails were out of context and edited - UEFA fell for it because it seems they wanted it all to be true.
This is a great day for City but, in truth, it’s a day of celebration that should never have existed. UEFA should’ve worked with City to understand their position, instead Europe’s governing body failed to independently review the facts.

Sounds like he knows quite a lot about looking a bit of a dick.A plastic rag at dinner saying that we're "still dodgy and have got away with whatever it was that we did".
I said "Liam - I've always gone by the rule that if you know fuck all about a subject, it's best not to talk about it because you're likely to make yourself look a bit of a dick."
Liam - "I was only joking."
