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

Let's be clear. Like Tebas, these are words of a declaration of "war" (no not literally obviously before someone makes some silly comment). The club will not do anything but the inference here is as clear as Tebas and it is unacceptable. Simple as that.
Added to the comments in The Times article about how all the G14 clubs were busy messaging each other about their next attack on us, certainly sounds like war.
 
A bad day for Liverpool, Man Utd, Arsenal, Spurs, Real Madrid, Barcelona, Bayern Munich, Juventus and UEFA. Apart from that I think most people were pleased or indifferent.
 
Don't mind Klopp usually, but hate when he does that whole "Of course, I'm just a humble football manager, I couldn't possibly comment, although I do think this is a terrible thing that is categorically wrong for these seven reasons. But I can't comment, of course, I'm just a humble football coach."
 
This is brilliant, he's clearly been holding this all in for this day.

Thank fuck we won.
 
The 'leaks' on Friday didn't match the wording/comments so they may well have originated from someone, somewhere having a punt based on gut feeling coming from the positive comments of those who were there and involved in the CAS process. It'll be interesting to see. Inevitably, if someone did leak information on Friday then the MCFC of today is a somewhat different beast to the MCFC of the past and leaks are unacceptable (unless of course a leak had been authorised in some way). We'll know eventually I'm sure.

On the 'time-barred' material.... What is angering me with the media most at the moment is that many journalists/reporters are claiming that City got off on a technicality. When we see the full CAS report we should know but at the moment I reckon that they've got the angle completely wrong. If CAS couldn't consider some accusations by UEFA because of the time-barred rule then that means that MCFC couldn't present its own case in relation to those accusations or defend those accusations. Worse, it was because of a UEFA rule not MCFC's, so if anything the media should be saying City were prevented from defending/challenging UEFA's views in these areas because UEFA had a time-bar on them! I may be totally misreading this area, but it seems logical that if something couldn't be heard because it had been time-barred then that's not the accused fault, nor is it a sign of their guilt. Anyone know anything about this area?
Certainly not the mainstream media I should say.
