The only part of Joses comments that I thought were wrong was the oft repeated notion that this spells the end of FFP.Old and past it Moanrenio might be getting a letter from our legal department very soon, he obviously hasn't read the CAS statement .
I really do think it was less intentional here than it seems. I think he was having a different discussion than the rest of us, though, probably unintentionally.On the face of it.
Devil is in the detail, the tone, smirks, words emphasized. He totally knows what he is doing, saying and what it means.
Credit to him for that ability, being perfectly honest.
Yes, the top 10 in the Prem apart from us and Sheffield United.is the "hateful 8" chat in reference to the prem teams who wanted City done?
And sell the rights to it enabling us to pass FFP again!!!! Now THAT would be something!It would make a great Amazon documentary;)
I’m still confused how a dipper staff was informed that city was on clear the day dippers got gang banged at etihad .It is being widely reported that nobody associated with City knew the decision on Friday. Same at UEFA's side. It was genuinely given to both parties yesterday morning a couple of hours before it was published. That's kinda mental. We really did take a 'shit or bust' approach with this case.
Looking forward to the full judgment and Stefan's analysis of it. Will be interesting to see what it says, but my bet is it'll say more or less that everything in the leaks pre 2014 the panel simply couldn't look at, and the only post 2014 issue was the Etihad sponsorship deal which UEFA were never going to be able to prove anything about.
In the end it really was as simple as a lot of us thought it would be at the start in terms of what the main issues at play were.
