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

Can somebody give me a link to the initial CAS press release, please.

Pep's not going to hang around if he ends up having to defend himself and the club or play politics in every press conference. Txiki and Soriano should know that.


I was hoping for more than a bit of bitching in the press and empty litigation threata when we were promised a reaction post-CAS.

What's weird though is (I don't know if you watched the video) it looks like he dropped the comment about not liking Arsenal off the pitch unprompted. He was asked about the next 2 games in relation to Real Madrid and he just made the comment anyway later. Unless I've missed something.

I'm not disagreeing with your conclusion btw, but I don't know whether this is more defence or just Pep going on the offence, rightly or wrongly.

Pep gave it Arsenal anyway, alluding to them being sniddy back stabbing cnuts off the pitch. Good on him I hate that club along with the usual suspects

Pep Guardiola on #PL rivals' CAS involvement: “Opponents always deserve my respect and credit. I have all the respect for what Arsenal are on the pitch, not much off the pitch – but on the pitch, a lot.”

#ManCity believe Arsenal were the prime movers behind a joint letter sent by eight Premier League clubs to CAS, in which they argued that any attempt by City to delay a Uefa ban while their appeal was ongoing should be dismissed. [

The belief at #ManCity is that Arsenal and Liverpool were behind the plot. City also suspect they were involved in a group call between clubs to plan their next move after CAS had overturned the ban.

There's something similar on the Athletic and the comments section is flooded with outraged Tarquins.

I have nothing to add but outraged Tarquins is a great pairing of words.

Don't want to be a party pooper but I don't think it is quite time to be popping the champagne corks on this matter just yet. The MEN headline says critics could face action, and the article itself says 'the matter has now been referred to our legal team to see if there is a course of action we can take to redress the balance'. So i'm not getting too excited at the moment.

Fair comment but we need to take action now.

Along with their Merseyside counterparts I doubt any other club and its fans could do outrage and childish foot stamping to such an outstanding degree.

It seems CAS were very keen to include "MANCHESTER CITY FC DID NOT DISGUISE EQUITY FUNDING AS SPONSORSHIP CONTRIBUTIONS..." at the very top of the initial statement.
What part of that is difficult to understand? Are people reading it through their fingers like when watching a horror film? They really are that scared of the truth? It's fucking hilarious if you think about it: "no...i'm not looking at that line...it hurts too much!"
