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

[dickie davies]

Anyone else wondering how we have sent 5.5m emails in 10 years? Maths isn't my strong point but I make that 10000+ emails per week, every week for 10 years. Some people at the club really need to get some work done.

It's not five and a half million emails, it's five and a half million documents

Does anyone have a link to the mails that were used as evidence by UEFA?

I’ve finished reading it all, most of it last night. Pretty interesting. It gives me more appreciation as to why I think City had a case to answer for, it’s the first time I’ve properly read the leaked emails as they were presented. They do have an element of suggestion in them if read without context, but as it clearly states in the judgement, even if they were entirely true, talking about an act of fraudulent activity is not carrying it out, and the absence of transactional evidence upon inspection shows that the claims are dismissed.

Its also a good reminder as to why I’d be a useless lawyer. A very humbling read.

They’re all displayed in the CAS write-up.

Not sure that’s entirely correct, mate.

For Arbitrations this is absolutely as strong as it gets. Suppose I could have used Arbiters instead of Judges.
DJ Fox in Oldham was certainly more blunt in his day but in Arbitrations the language is always much more conciliatory.

They are embedded in the full CAS findings.

Fuck UEFA. They prosecuted this whole thing with no proper evidence. I don’t buy this “poor UEFA were forced to act by the evil G14 clubs”
If true all they had to say was “our lawyers say we can’t win”
They shafted us by moving the goalposts in 2014, they have shafted us numerous times in the Champions League and they banned us for 2 years acting as judge jury and executioner.
They despise everything about us and it’s mutual as far as I’m concerned.
After FIFA they are the 2nd most corrupt organisation in world sport, I wouldn’t piss on them if they were on fire.

Oh, I buy it, big time. If you’re talking about corruption in sporting organisations, I think there’s some serious competition for that.
I don’t think an attitude of ‘Fuck UEFA’ going forwards is the best way. We’ve just done that to them at CAS. I think there are some elements at UEFA supportive of us, and that’s what we need to bolster.

Ok mate. Fair comment. And thanks for clarifying.

The notion of ‘The Empire of the Kop’ pontificating about Europeans bans is too comical for words.

Seen posts on squawk that claim the CAS rep among the three judges had been employed by City at some time.
