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

Manchester City showed 'blatant disregard' in Uefa FFP case, but didn't breach FFP says Cas

Interesting how the BBC third rate hack sees it as more important to have the 'blatant disregard' element as the lead (the minor and welded on additional charge), and tags on the non-breach (the main charge) as a bit of an afterthought. Anyone reading that would be led to believe that blatantly disregarding a process is more heinous than cooking the books.
 
I'm not sure that's a mistake as para 248 quotes Simon Pearce's witness statement which details the same three seasons, omitting 2014/15.
Why would they not pay us for a year? I'd suggest they just took Pearce's statement at face value, when he could have made a mistake. Or something else could have happened in 2014/15 whcih meant that it didn't fit the payment pattern referred to in the email.

Question. Do we sue the corporation or the hack direct bearing in mind he will doubtless not be a direct employee? I wanna see the club bankrupt a few of these cnuts to be honest
 
It looks like there's a mistake in para 12, where it talks about the Etihad sponsorship being £220.575m plus $1.75m over the contracted period. It mentions 2012/13, 2013/14 then 2015/16 but misses out 2014/15. Yet that period is covered by the agreements mentioned.

So that works out at £55m a year instead of nearer £75m a year.

I thought that, but then para 198 specifically states only those three seasons so I’m not sure if they’ve taken that into account.
