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

[DrBlueBob]

You could take the view that the bad day was because the governing body was shown to be incompetent at best and biased at worst?

You could, better yet, Herr Klopp could have actually said that. Just for the avoidance of doubt and so as to not make himself look like an embittered fool.

For Liverpool to infer that City had won their case after playing City, it follows that City must have wiped the floor with UEFA at CAS. We'd have to be very confident for Liverpool/City to be confident of the outcome

What it boils down to is that we've been found "not guilty" of murder, but the court fined us £50 for being rude to a policeman who was trying to fit us up.

I’m going to borrow that. Great analogy.

Enjoy the hurt and real pain these jokers are feeling!

It's Klopp's comments which irk me the most as he expressed some sympathy for us when the ban was first announced. What has caused the change I wonder? The inference that we cannot afford to pay the wages and transfer fees we do is simply false yet still people like Klopp who should know better still peddle it despite all the evidence proving otherwise. Our revenues, based on many years of success and the longest currently continuous run of playing in the CL is there for anyone to see yet they still they come out with this utter garbage.

He is a fucking twat,but he laughs a lot...

Got this today from a Blades mate from when I lived in Sheffield. Not claiming I am ITK at all, and neither is he, but I know hes a very straight guy who knows a lot of peops in football......Can’t say to much but I know someone at a high level that was party to the conference call yesterday morning at 7.30 they had not got a clue what the outcome was going to be to say there was a lot of jumping up and down including pep is an under statement the 10 million will be paid pocket money

you're probably right mate, I'd been mothering a players mum all weekend to spill the beans but she was adamant he didn't know

 

[DrBlueBob]

True enough.

He didn't say it for me to look for. He knows plenty will be looking for it. Least of all, City fans.

We need a body language expert. Calling @ricky77 ;-)

Had a listen last night, really good stuff. The Sheff Utd fan was in knots. TBF I put that down to mediq brainwashing over the last few years.

Strange fan to put her up against when they are not one of the hateful eight and not a rival,done on purpose to create division I wonder

I'm certainly doing that, albeit vicariously through others as I'm stuck at home atm.

You're giving him the benefit of the doubt as he stated it in terms in which you could consider he was being either anti UEFA and anti decision whereas its being portrayed on SKY as exactly what I suspect which is that weve been fined so we must be guilty. His previous musings on the subject of our charge heavily intimate he meant the latter.

Yes, it *could* be either, I can’t and wouldn’t argue against that.

Though, as I said to Coatigan, Sky (and most other outlets) were always going to interpret his comments, whatever they were, in the way that creates the most conflict and media engagement (clicks, views, comments, phone calls, letters in a bottle, etc). In this case, it will be that he meant to have a dig at City, CAS, and whether his comments are hypocritical given his own previous legal troubles.
