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

[SebastianBlue]

the full quotes are mental to be fair


"We all know what City do. When they were punished (by UEFA originally), there was no surprise among the majority of us involved in European football.



"I don't want to say (people were) happy, but at last there was a sense of justice against these big state-owned clubs, the other being Paris Saint-Germain.




"City will be in the Champions League next season because the CAS did things badly, not because City have done things properly.



"I would like to see the CAS's final resolution. When it's released and I read it, I will say what I am convinced about to Guardiola, that they haven't done things properly. They've done things badly at the CAS.

"The CAS is dead. I've had doubts about the CAS for many years, not just because of this resolution, but for many more. It's the opposite of what it should be; there's no transparency."



City boss Guardiola feels his club are owed an apology, believing the verdict vindicates their rigorous defence of their position.



Tottenham manager Jose Mourinho branded the CAS decision a "a disgrace" and Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp said it was not "a good day for football."



Tebas alleges the four-time Premier League champions have used fictitious sponsors and inflated naming-rights deals to boost their income to allow them to spend big in the transfer market.



"When the CAS reversed the decision, there were protests – from Klopp, Mourinho – because we all know they're trying to find a way around the FFP rules," said Tebas.

"City, in the last five years, along with PSG, are the club that have spent the most.



"City haven't signed with their own resources, like Manchester United do, who bring in money through television or sponsors. They sign with petrodollars, with money obtained through oil by the (owners in the) United Arab Emirates.



"The state-owned clubs in Europe do what they want. Fictitious sponsors, naming rights (for stadiums) in the case of Man City.



"The Etihad Stadium is not worth (what is paid for it) and that creates a very dangerous economic situation for us."

He is a bitter, confused, desperate caveman lashing out as the environment changes around him and he realises that his time is coming to an end.

Clever move. Stops any appeal. Helps with PL issue. Shows class

Very classy guy indeed and a very clever move. Keep the enemy where we can see them too

Those waiting for the award to clear this up are going to be disappointed. It will be carefully worded.

Are we going to see anything in the wording where these ****s will twist & turn over anything that's printed.

Once this is over are we likely to start throwing our weight around with some of these scumbags

I hope we don't allow these ****s to carry on bad mouthing us

Wasn't Tebas mentioned directly in Khaldoon's last annual review message? Told to put up or shut up. Well it's about time we make him and it would make a great example to the rest of these scummy tw@ts.

If true, this is inline with what many of us thought was the current situation between Ceferin and City.

And may be an indication that a cleaning of the UEFA chateau may be coming.

What's interesting is apparently City were on good terms with Infantino too, no? And now he's head of FIFA.

Is it possible that UEFA (and FIFA) could be on our side here? Against certain power clubs I mean?

Perhaps they can see that what we are doing in football is beneficial FOR football ? Unlike some we have no debt, and our owners are not taking money out of football.

Fuck me that tebas is one crazy, disgusting slob.

I'd say he's on the gear with the shit he comes out with but the size of the fat **** not a chance, he probably eats baby elephants for breakfast the Spanish crackpot.
