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

[KS55]

Does this also blow the line that we are owned by a state?

Selling shares in CFG to the chinese consortium and to Silverlake blew that away.

Will we contest that fine ?

I wouldn't think so .... the fine amount is paltry when compared to the possible cash prize earned from a likely two seasons in the Champions League .

Maybe I'm over-reacting but with the way journalists have been allowed to write their headlines/articles today, completely disregarding the overwhelming findings by CAS in favour of painting City in a bad light yet again... I think our media/pr department isn't fit for purpose.

Having a quiet word with journalists to slightly change a headline really isn't working.

Would cost more to get it overturned than the fine itself, also would start the whole hate campaign off all over again !

Non cooperation is an FFP breach???

It fits into the same category as a judicial system where a 'contempt of court' offence is added to a murder charge- except that on a murder charge had the alleged murderer been found guilty of the contempt but not of murder he would not have the contempt translated into murder. But Uefa have been shown to have made a complete and total bollocks of their non-case,much to the chagrin of the G14 and H9, and have to find a bit of mud from somewhere and which the RDAHMeedya can constantly pick up and sling ad nauseam whenever they drive down Ashton Rd.

I wonder what that wankstain Sam Lee has to say about this.

his fan club will be along to defend that slur...

In the meantime I’ll just like wankstain comment.

All the doubling down going on at the minute is hilarious. They just can’t admit they were wrong.

In fact it specifically says, towards the bottom of page 11 of the CAS document (which is part of the Adjudicatory Chamber's verdict, not CAS's own wording) "It is recognised that the investigation raised very serious issues for the club, and it was entitled to instruct its solicitors to defend its position vigorously". So it's quite clear we did this on legal advice. Hence why I believe we'll appeal.

Would it really be worth the risk given that the sanction could potentially be increased if we were unsuccessful? We've won the case, the whole affair is merely a footnote in our history now. Time to wipe our mouths and move on.

Feel like setting fireworks off near the town hall......what could possible go wrong??

You could start by shovin a banger up the arses of UEFA!

The media are in a race to the bottom,shock jocks,tabloid level reporting ,only Samuels is interested in being fair and balanced and printing the truth,i don't think we can change the gutter press
