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

Khaldoon said City knew who was behind the campaign to damage City. The Martin Samuel article puts names and motives behind it.

Lets hope the tide has turned and our UEFA allies are able to push through reform after their CAS debacle. Plenty of scapegoats to choose from.

I don't think there was much secret about the scandal of club executives being involved in the governing bodies of the sport.

DanRoan, BBC Cockpiece:
"The credibility of Financial Fair Play (FFP) lies in tatters. After all, how can FFP survive after one of the world's richest clubs, having been found guilty of obstructing a Uefa investigation, a club that was found to have breached the rules in 2014, walk away with just a 10m euros (£9m) fine?"

I'm sure this has already been mentioned, but this is outrageous. From our national broadcaster, supposed purveyor of truth and justice. C*nts. Surely this is libellous?

Amended it for you. Hope you don’t mind.
 
Fingers crossed we will already have a good reason to have a trophy parade this season but I do hope when it happens they include a framed copy of the CAS judgment on the team bus for appropriate display to an appreciative crowd ;)

No but Samuel is a credible journalist and has set it down in black and white.
Compare with Ian Herbert and others in MSM and social media and how they have reported the CAS ruling.
 
The reaction to today has showed that this isn’t over yet.

There’s a couple of key bits to me. The first one is the narrative being set around the evidence being not established. I have a feeling a few will have even more egg on their faces when the CAS details fully come out and it shows that the evidence was so easily refutable it begs the question why Uefa felt it was anywhere near conclusive enough in the first place.

The second bit is around the time barring. I’ve seen a few journalists make snide remarks about the best lawyers or us getting off on a technicality. I have not seen one properly question how on earth Uefa could think they could possibly charge us, breaching their own regulations in doing so. Not only that but also after being pulled up by CAS for trying to do exactly the same already when they overruled them in the PSG case.

If you couple those two together, it’s beyond incompetence to me, to the point of even wondering if this outcome is actually what Uefa wanted all along (conspiracy theory I know!). Show publicly they’re doing what the ECA wanted them to knowing that it was destined to fail and then use that as a basis to properly overhaul the system.

The fact that not a single journalist has properly picked up on that though and not really questioned the real story here, which is the actions of Uefa and the underlying motives behind it, means there’s still a lot more mileage in this yet.

Bring it on :)

Couldn't have done much better if Kaldoon had written it himself. Samuels is the only decent and honest journalist amongst the pack of shysters and frauds who peddle their shite for the pathetic press in this country.

A shining beacon in amongst a sea of utter shite. Well done MS , you are the man .
