Limitation periods aren’t a technicality. They are a fundamental term of the contract between UEFA and the clubs. It’s like speeding on the motorway and blaming the speed limit on a fucking technicality.
Exactly - City not following the rules is 'cheating', apparently, but UEFA not following the rules is a 'technicality'.
Edit - by City not following the rules I am referring to the non-cooperation bit, not the sponsorship allegation, before everyone jumps on my head.

It's a bit like saying someone got off with murder on a "technicality" when there was no proof they ever murdered the victim.Limitation periods aren’t a technicality.

Which was announced <24h in advance.

The FFP rule about co-operation is so widely drafted that anything could be defined as 'non-cooperation'. And it's 99.9% certain tht we ould have taken legal advice at the time on that. If you were hauled in for questioning by the police on a serious criminal matter you would be legally entitled to refuse to co-operate with them. You have the right to remain silent so as not to incriminate yourself, and a lawyer would tell you that and support your right to do so.Exactly - City not following the rules is 'cheating', apparently, but UEFA not following the rules is a 'technicality'.

I remember the outcry when the government brought in a measure to make your silence in an investigation something that could potentially be used to count against you in court.

Except, of course, that this wasn't a criminal case it was essentially a commercial dispute so the 'right to silence' rules don't apply - not that you would know that from the way some of the media reacted.
