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

[Tricky_Trev]

It’s easy sometimes to focus too much on it being City v UEFA, but it’s not really that at all. We are pawns in a bigger war. It’s Abu Dhabi v Qatar.

Even Putin didn't have the balls to go after CAS.

Agreed but my point is the carbel can smear CAS without taking any action letting UEFA take organisational flack and the media following like.lambs.
They have delayed us by giving an unjustified ban and fine sum so whats wrong from their point of view in blaming CAS and not themselves?

Does anyone know what this sentence in the CAS statement means

"The CAS award emphasized that most of the alleged breaches reported by the Adjudicatory Chamber of the CFCB were either not established or time-barred".

"Most" to me means there are other alleged breaches that aren't excluded by being not established or time-barred. Is this something we should be concerned about?

If you are concerned, remind yourself that time-barred or not, established or not, they remain ALLEGATIONS; nothing more, nothing less.

And whilst people say this intimates they were the smoking gun, they won't admit that City could quite easily have been able to explain them away.

Innocent until proven guilty (unless you are Javier Tebas, Dave Kitson, Jurgen Klopp, Jose Mourinho, etc, etc)

Concerned? No, I don't think so.

The important bit (for me) is:

MANCHESTER CITY FC DID NOT DISGUISE EQUITY FUNDING AS SPONSORSHIP CONTRIBUTIONS

were either not established or time-barred

Not established presumably means UEFA said 'we're sure they're guilty' and CAS replying 'you do know you need actual proof?'

The time barred stuff means that CAS read UEFA's own rules and told them that you can't revisit that period so we're not even going to look at it.

Don't forget that they would have been able to look at any evidence from within the 5 year limit and as the bit in capitals (CAS put it in capitals, not me) states, City were cleared. That was the main and most serious charge.

True. But keep in mind, in Arab culture if one has to wait 30 years to get revenge and make one pay for a transgression that is no problem. I am not sure our fan base wants to wait that long.

I don't think many have got that long

It means to me that they ruled in City's favour on the allegations that weren't established or time-barred. It's done and dusted, no cause for concern.

I would have thought that not established means they found Uefa’s evidence to not be true.

City maybe seen as the UAE in the UK, but I don't think it's felt like that in the UAE. I say that a bit tenuously based on friends I have known from the Emirates who had zero interest in City.

Apologies if already posted. Would be hilarious if true:
