The loser's statement:
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.
Dissenting judgments are not allowed in CAS's regulations so I don't really see why if there was a dissenting judge that his view on the wording is needed.Not really - they've trailed the date of the announcement for a good while, and must have known at the end of the hearing how it was going. We've assumed it was a 3-0 win at CAS but it it was 2-1 (UEFA nominated one judge, as did we) it might be they're running the wording past the dissenting judge - or they're running it past City's lawyers...
We'll forgive youNever in doubt, well played everybody.
He'll be alright, I go to Spain regularly, any mither and the Guardia Civil will wade in,Ffs well be having another blue gone rip thread ;) seriouslt tho. Look after yourself
HhahahaahhaahhahahahaahAhh up steps Miguel Delaney in his Independent article with this..
"City have ultimately got off on a technicality, as indicated by the use of the words “time-barred”, and merely the fine reduced. The suggestions the club have been “completely exonerated” are not quite true."
