Tony Evans' diatribe today in the Indie is hilarious in how much spin is applied to discredit UEFA.
Oh, and somewhat laissez faire approach to detail. I like "City were obstructive to the point where the panel fined them £27m."
And yet you have posted yet another link to them ,take your own advice and stop spreading their shiteManchester City fans were criticised for questioning the integrity of the UEFA Adjudicatory Chamber, but now a journalist from the Guardian Media Group's journalist is questioning the independence of CAS, https://www.dumptheguardian.com/foo...city-over-sponsor-money-time-barred-cas-rules .
I think it's legitimate for a journalist to campaign, and source information pertinent to a story but a liberal newspaper should also question authority, and should be independent of it. I'd have thought UEFA, the G14, and far right football officials would be a far more natural organisations for scrutiny than a football club part-owned by an Emirati?
The Guardian Media Group is free to publish what it likes, and should remain free to do so, but Manchester City supporters should also be free to criticise and will naturally form their own opinion as to whether it's sensible to contribute towards a commercial news organisation which is such a fervent supporter of the footballing establishment.
I have the same thoughts. Reading the report last night I was glad that I knew we had been successful in the appeal because, as I read, it seemed that we were losing all the arguments. I then realised that it knocked the winning on a technicality crap on the head. As Stefan wrote on twitter, there was a lot of no evidence comments,I think You misunderstood me. I meant that by reviewing everything that UEFA reviewed and finding the opposite result rather than cutting out the evidence for the legal reasons that our legal team suggested, CAS assisted us to show that we didn’t win on a technicality.
Ps as you no doubt no, reputations damage is a huge issue for any Comms dept, close (not Kloss) to a number one priority, and whatever the rights and wrongs we have suffered hugely in that respect, whatever you think of my hair (which by the way given my user name is a very sensitive subject)Keep your hair on mate. I haven’t met any but I know what it is like to run a Comms Department covering issues that are very unpopular in the media. It’s not easy.
CAS reviewed more evidence than UEFA did, hence why CAS stated that if we'd fully cooperated in the first place, then UEFA may well have come to the same conclusion as CAS. That's partly why they hit us with the €10million fine.I think You misunderstood me. I meant that by reviewing everything that UEFA reviewed and finding the opposite result rather than cutting out the evidence for the legal reasons that our legal team suggested, CAS assisted us to show that we didn’t win on a technicality.
Their output would be even more interesting if they're typing with a few broken fingers :)
When was Nick Harris? I'm looking forward to that being (metaphorically, of course) in the past.Why the fuck is Nick Harris?
