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

[blueparrot]

I just read the decision on the CAS site literally the second it dropped. ;-)

Had to read 3 times to be sure myself.

Fined for not complying with:

Article 56 – Responsibilities of the licensee
The licensee must:
a) cooperate with the licensor and the UEFA Club Financial Control Body in
respect of their requests and enquiries;
b) provide the licensor and the UEFA Club Financial Control Body with all
necessary information and/or relevant documents to fully demonstrate that
the monitoring requirements are fulfilled, as well as any other document
requested and deemed to be relevant for club monitoring decision-making
(the reporting entity or combination of entities in respect of which information
is required to be provided must be the same as for club licensing);
c) promptly notify the licensor in writing about any subsequent events that
constitute a significant change to the information previously submitted to the
licensor.

Is that UEFA moaning that we didn't tell them our defence in advance of the charge?

To paraphrase Thatcher during the Falklands war " REJOICE"

Er, no, fuck off.

 

[vmsuhail]

Sour grapes from UEFA statement. "there was insufficient conclusive evidence"
And that the five year limit hindered them.
If there was a five year limit, then why pursue it anyway? Cannot have it both ways.
So all worded to make it sound like we "Got away with it"

They've to keep the cartel happy.

Over the (Blue) moon. I really feared the worst, so happy that we're in the clear.

 

[bluetoby]

Always thought that we would be exonerated but some money would find its way into the EUFA holiday pot

I hope we haven't dispensed with our legal team's services yet... and certain individuals in the media are probably moving their homes into their spouse's names as I type this!

[mosssideblue]

As I couldn't get on here I just spent a glorious 10 minutes on RAWK. Oh what a morning!

I was in the same boat but went to sad cafe. They are not best pleased :)

 

[Keeper!]

Talk about every silver lining has a cloud!
Fcuks sake.

I don't give a f@@k we are free to carry on dominating but the fine , until the full ruling appears makes the judgement look suspect.

Today is a wonderful day

 

[The Preacher]

Wow! Wow! Wow! Must admit that the pessimist in me didn’t think we’d get the verdict. But well done all you fellow Blues who remained bullishly confident throughout that we’d win our case. Enjoy your day, guys. God, I love this club!

 

[deano ou812]

Wonder if the axe will fall on a number of uefa delegates,I’m sure some of the gutter press will try and make out we are still guilty hence the small fine even though it was for non cooperation..
