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

I'm really intrigued by this obsession with Sam Lee. What you just said was a lie.

He's literally just responded to Bayern's CEO saying "it was a bad day for football" with "why can't they wait for the full release?" - which is exactly the sentiment of City fans.

He's also said today he thinks the full award will be great for City, with the reasoning that it's why Guardiola was bullish in the press conference.

Yesterday someone came on here and said he was retweeting a highly critical article from a liverpool echo writer - an outright lie. It didn't happen. But the usual crew piled in on it, as they will from this complete fiction.

It's just so bizarre. I've never even seen it with people that every City fan hates like Delaney. No one just completely invents things they've said.

Put it this way when Pep signs a new contract, Sam’s next article will be “Pep stays for now - but who will replace him?”.

My point isn’t a lie and it’s down to his general stance since Monday that we still don’t know if City were actually guilty or not.

The CAS award clearly stated that City did not disguise sponsorship.

Plus of course the club didn't pay a penny towards the costs of construction of OT in the first place. That was covered 100% by their first sugar daddy John Henry Davies. And the rags have the brass neck to claim City got a free stadium.

... not just the construction... the very land it stands on.

If I remember correctly he also bought a whole new team made up of the stars of the day to play in the new ground.

What did united have to do in return for this?


...change their name to lie about coming from Manchester, and change the colour of their shirts from green & yellow to red.


...imagine that... the supposedly 'self made' club are in fact the original sugar daddy club... they have both their name and shirt colour dictated by a non-Mancunian businessman!

Since when have Barcelona operated with a £40m surplus to pay this sort of money back each year. They have been sinking further and further into debt year on year. There will be state funding by the back door to cover this sort of debt. I’d also have as a guess that the stadium rebuild costs will hugely overrun. Another year of zero attendance at the Camp Nou could hit the Catalan tax payer very hard because there will no doubt, be a state bailout and I wonder what senor Tebas will make of that?

If their stadium takes as long to finish as that Cathedral no one will ever see a game played there

Think he means that in the documents that we did a deal and took the pinch maybe Sam thinks we did something wrong in them?

Correct that is the case, didn’t they also get state funding for building a stand prior to Euro 96?

I wouldn’t be surprised if they have lobbied the Government for funding on the off chance the World Cup hosts of 2022 get the World Cup taken off them...just so they can be ready...
 
You’d have thought having evidence that is in no way valid would be a bit of a sticking point when bringing a case. But no, you’d be wrong.

Also note how he uses the exact same words as Klopp, ex-Dortmund. Shows how they are all colluding, whispering, to bring this smear campaign upon us.

I wonder if the public questioning of their integrity will make CAS change the content of the full award? There's a lot in these things that seems to be left unsaid, but if people are undermining their suitability to make fair decisions they might have an interest in making some things more explicit.

They did go from it coming out in "a few days" to some point next week.

That is a good point, I was presuming it was UEFA or ourselves asking for some details to be removed and then having to go back and forth to get a final draft. CAS surely can't have been impressed by the likes of Tebas calling them out, perhaps they got a bit pissed at them and will make a point of highlighting stuff they might otherwise have not bothered with.
 
Can anyone tell me what the 'obstruction' was from City that I keep seeing being referred to?

We don't know yet, we'll have to wait for the reasoning to come out next week.

It could be that they wanted to see the full email chain that was hacked and we've given them the 'we won't comment on hacked or stolen emails taken out of context' line. It may be that they've asked us to give them Etihads books to look at as the Sheikh owns them (apparently :) ).

Like the rest, a fucking snake and a rag one at that after nothing but clicks and revenue.

I've no issue in him earning a living by the way but when it comes to ill informed fucking bullshit about our club i will call him out.

The man like many others in his rat infested, look at me industry can get fucked.

"Celebration should be forbidden " might be my new favourite phrase! So bitter, so arrogant, so German

This is why I really want Soriano or Khaldoon to do one of their Chris Bailey interviews to put idiots like this in their place.

I suspect we're keeping our powder dry on that until the full report is released, if it is. I read before that if one or both parties request it not to be made public it won't be... which will give the detractors even more fuel to claim we cheated.

Its truly unbelievable how this is being twisted.

UEFA bring a case against us, using evidence that cannot be used and when CAS rightly tells them they cannot use it, we are painted as the bad guy.

The damage done to our club having to defend ourselves against this nonsense is off the chart.
