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

Everyone on your feet, Sheik Mansour, WE SALUTE YOU
 
We haven’t been exonerated, as such.

Reading it, it seems like UEFA couldn’t prove we were guilty to a good enough extent so the ban has been overturned but it hasn’t been proven that we did nothing wrong.

This is great for the club being able to play in the CL next season and ongoing, but hasn’t done anything for our reputation like being absolved of guilt/proven innocence would have done.
'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.'
As close to an exoneration as we were ever likely to get.
 
Great for City! But probably the best verdict UEFA could have expected - Non cooperation charge is a bit harsh on City (in my view); had CAS been any harsher on City I think we might have seen FFP legality challenged right up to the European Court of Justice. Also "weasel words" in the judgement to allow UEFA to save a little bit of face.
But hey, time to rejoice!
 
Simon Stone on the BBC changed his tune in the space of 15 mins! Fuck the media and fuck Uefa
Stone should be ashamed of the inaccurate way he has covered this case for the last two years but he's too thick to understand what has happened. He was still repeating the fake narrative this morning on Radio 5.
