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

[dickie davies]

Someone needs to remove this fucking c unt.

Someone needs to tell him it's because we're "MASSIVE"

Right. So who mashed these emails together? Pinto, Der Spiegel or whoever it was that hired Pinto in the first place?

 

[Otamendi's Beard]

Someone needs to remove this fucking c unt.

Yep. But he's on UEFA's leaked list, along with Harris, and is firmly in their pocket.

Practically named and shamed in those documents.

Actually 9 clubs were in the Hateful Eight - Newcastle too. Explicitly was to prevent a stay of the judgement. No stay request was made, so it was irreelvant to the matter.

Hmm, I'm suddenly having misgivings about Newcastle being taken over by a Saudi investment fund. It suddenly doesn't seem right that a rich group of people should be allowed to pump outside money into a football club to make them successful. Sheffield United, of course, can fill their boots.

Is anyone else waiting for the first set of bitter journalists poring through this looking for something they can take out of context to make us look guilty? I bet if you were a journalist, you could quite easily out a lot of your fellow-journalists as not actually having read it by posting something unflattering to City that doesn't actually appear in the judgement and seeing how many journalists repeat it in their own work without questioning it.

They are that naiive. It probably backs up the theory that the G-14 told UEFA to 'go for it' regardless.

Yeah I think they were forced into it,really hope they turn on each other now

Haven’t read it all in detail but it seems we might be even more in the clear now with this out? Could CAS see any breaches made by City at all, even before this five year timeframe?

From my quick reading, which I haven't finished, CAS declared that anything that happened prior to 2014 was time-barred but not anything after. So they could examine the sponsorship revenues that were paid after 2014 and found those were properly paid and weren't disguised equity funding. That clearly implies that had the other payments not been time-barred, they would also have been found to be properly paid.

Therefore anyone claiming we got off "on a technicality" is completely wrong.

Para 13a, page 24 states the strength of evidence needed.

Presumably they still had the same amount of supporting evidence - none?

 

[BuryBlue1977]

Anyone read it all yet? :)

Just finished it. In summary, we failed to cooperate twice but other than that we did nothing wrong. Oh and it concludes that Uefa are a set of cûnts.

Yes. When I think impartiality Tariq Panja and Rob Harris immediately come to mind.
