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

[kaz7]

This is the only rule we’ve been found guilty of breaking. Just an administrative issue. Fuck all really.

Article 56: Responsibilities of the licensee
The licensee must:
a) cooperate with the licensor and the UEFA Club Financial Control Body in respect of their requests and enquiries;
b) provide the licensor and the UEFA Club Financial Control Body with all necessary information and/or relevant documents to fully demonstrate that the monitoring requirements are fulfilled, as well as any other document requested and deemed to be relevant for club monitoring decision-making, by the deadline set by the licensor and/or the UEFA administration (the reporting entity or combination of entities in respect of which information is required must be the same as for club licensing);
c) confirm that all the submitted documentation and information are complete and accurate;
d) promptly notify the licensor in writing about any subsequent events that constitute a significant change to the information previously submitted to the licensor, including a change of legal form or legal group structure.

We should pay the fine in 50 p pieces

Exonerated

We haven’t been exonerated, as such.

Reading it, it seems like UEFA couldn’t prove we were guilty to a good enough extent so the ban has been overturned but it hasn’t been proven that we did nothing wrong.

This is great for the club being able to play in the CL next season and ongoing, but hasn’t done anything for our reputation like being absolved of guilt/proven innocence would have done.

That's my thought – if we're innocent, why a fine?

for failure to comply with UEFA -not for breaches of FFP or financial irregualrites

This is what the fine was for
