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

Big Chap said:
Just sent this to the Times. Will achieve nothing, but feel better now.......

Good afternoon,

Your sport’s correspondent’s article published today at noon titled “Uefa weakened in battle against wealthy clubs....” was ignorant of the facts of the case against Manchester City, and was a disappointingly myopic take on the subject.

Time-barring was only one element that the CAS verdict referred to. More pressing was the fact that the allegations against Manchester City were in relation to matters that were the subject of an earlier investigation and punishment. But Mr Winter does not feel that this element is worthy of comment.

It is a tired trope to accuse Manchester City of benefiting from the wealth of the owners, having been fully compliant with the flawed FFP regulations since that time. I appreciate that the Times is a business, and your articles need to generate clicks from readers who will enjoy an article bashing the most successful English club over the last decade.

But Mr Winter’s supercilious tone, without acknowledging the facts of the case, leaves a bad taste. An apology would be too much to ask for, but I ask that you recommend to your Chief Football Writer that he bothers to investigate the facts of topics that he chooses to opine on. After all, that’s what journalists are supposed to do, isn’t it?

Good man.

Very articulately put.
 
it actually feels like we have won the league or a cup or have just got a couple of huge transfers done and confirmed
 
Facebook is full of " you we're fined, you are still guilty, you just paid them off " brigade.
Funny as fcuk
