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

[Coatigan]

Fucking Yasss!

Phew. Never in doubt!

 

[vincent]

Why still a 10 mill fine though?

Because we didn’t cooperate and we have admitted that. There are reasons for that but not sure CAS can take that into consideration

 

[RabidCity]

Ahaha bitter statement from UEFA. Makes it all the sweeter

 

[citymike1969]

Why still a 10 mill fine though?

...refusal to cooperate with uefa during the original case.

 

[Saddleworth2]

Brilliant result for the Club. So relieved but hacked off as hell that for the last 30 mins been unable to access Blue Moon. One of the most important moments in our history and unable to share it with fellow blues. No doubt we were overrun by guests @Ric

 

[p.taker]

Being up at 3:30 has never felt so good!

 

[Mancity1980]

A fine for being obstructive, no guilt.

Exactly, tastes sweet doesn’t it? Now let’s get Pep to extend his contract.

Apparently it’s for failing to fully cooperate with the corrupt twats at uefa, I.e. not bending over and taking a dry bumming. It’s 10m euros not pounds btw

Money well spent, if we'd supplied everything they'd requested it would have leaked all over the place and some serious spin would have been applied. played a blinder here has our club

Can we still Boo?

even more so!

UEFA takes note of the decision taken by the Court of Arbitration for Sport to reduce the sanction imposed on Manchester City FC by UEFA’s independent Club Financial Control Body for alleged breaches of the UEFA Club Licensing and Financial Fair Play regulations.

UEFA notes that the CAS panel found that there was insufficient conclusive evidence to uphold all of the CFCB’s conclusions in this specific case and that many of the alleged breaches were time-barred due to the 5 year time period foreseen in the UEFA regulations.

Over the last few years, Financial Fair Play has played a significant role in protecting clubs and helping them become financially sustainable and UEFA and ECA remain committed to its principles.

UEFA will be making no further comments on the matter.



Hahahahahahahaha get to fuck

I had to rely on the Guardian!! BBC stuck at 9.28, couldn't make head nor tail of the Club statement and our wonderful BM DOWN!! I had 3 gadgets on the go and couldn't find out anything but in Manchester City I trusted and I was right to trust them!!!!! (As always!!)

YEEEESSS, now to win the flipping thing in a few weeks time!! That'll show 'em, that'll show the bunch of so and sos!!! :-)

 

[eversince 76]

So no relegation to Division 1?
No repeat of a 1999 Wembley play off?

But but but ... can we at least keep on boooing?!

Finally!! 10Million euros fine for non-compliance. Who cares, consider it as cost for making a statement to UEFA and the rest

10 millions euros for refusing to play along with what has legally been proven to be a bullshit case. I know that’s peanuts for City but it’s still a bit of a joke. Guess someone has to pay for the UEFA Christmas party.

SUCK ME, BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

£10m fine - Zinchenko must be packing his bags as we speak!

I knew he was a nice bloke, but to offer to pay the fine himself, in cash no less...

what a lad!
