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

[Ajm1985]

After UEFA'S defeat by CAS. Does anyone agree that there is no way that UEFA, will let us win the Champions League. After all they do need to win one battle against us.

You saw the draw right? Our route to the final is ridiculous

Yeah, I heard a bit about this off a Wednesday fan back in March when we played them in the FA Cup. Can’t say I know the ins and outs but it revolves around them selling the stadium for £60 million (to the owners I think) and and they’re being accused of selling it at above fair value. If it’s deemed to be at an inflated price, the fair value is applied and depending on how big their losses are, it could lead to a points deduction of 9 points or more. A further points deduction could be applied if they’re found not to have assisted the EFL in their investigation (sound familiar?). The mad thing is that apparently the EFL encourages this type of deal as they changed the rules a few years ago to allow it, but it has to be at fair value. How do you apply a fair value to a football stadium though? Wednesday are a big club and if they got moving in the right direction and got to the Premier League then £60 million would be a bargain IMO.

Surely stadiums have limited value in that there are only so many tenants available the current football club in theory other football clubs but this is not america. They could be used as arenas The other option is they can be knocked down but that would not be popular and would destroy there most of the value and mean spending money to redevelop

As soon as I saw the draw I knew UEFA had lost at CAS

The way we defend at times I don’t think they need to worry.

More a joke than a conspiracy theory...

Where's Ric going to hide these 500+ messages when we win the Champions League????

 

[bennyboy]

I worry more about our defence than UEFA.

It is, but if we make the final, it will be much easier to win than the previous two games (on paper).

Anyone can beat anyone in a one off game. I’m just glad Wigan aren’t in it.

It would be pure 'typical City' to win the bloody thing when we can't be there to see it.
