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

[razman]

Should have been dealt with. Now, seems it will go on and on.

City statement , not exactly reassuring

 

[DMA's]

Now our official explanation is out in the open it is concerning the bastards have over 5 million emails to go through to try and disprove anything we said at cas. The very fact city have felt the need to send out a statement so swiftly shows this is potentially serious.

Ok my comment was extreme but on the opposite side of ‘happy clapping’ you stated on Twitter how we should have settled. I just felt that was giving an overly false impression to those that might look up to your good knowledge.

I deleted it due to the reaction but it is this sort of ongoing crap that was the reason I think we have been crazy to play this out in public. Personally really can’t be arsed with hearing this crap about 2013 and ADUG, Aabar, Etisalat, the royal family, the politics of the Middle East for another 12 months. Der Spiegel still have the keys - that is a problem.

This was what I was alluding to earlier in the thread. Its one thing a newspaper publishing a set of documents they argue is in the public interest, but surely it's another thing to drip feed them with a view to maximising sales?

That's exactly what the Telegraph did with the MP expenses information

Unfortunately the law in this area is weak and very opaque. A very basic summary is that effectively, until it’s challenged and new case law and precedent is set, the media can pretty much hold onto stuff for as long as they like as long as they can reasonably claim they might need it for future stories

Thanks for the reply. But in terms of UEFA hypothetically charging us every time Der Spiegel released something new, wouldn't CAS at some point just rule that any further evidence based on the stolen emails be inadmissible? Otherwise this could go on and on.

I would have thought, if they have more so called incriminating emails/docs they would have thrown the lot at us originally.

 

[slbsn]

They'll reply that it's in the public interest and that Pinto is a whistle blower, not a criminal. It's the fallback line of every journalist.

I don’t think that works for holding on to someone else’s document cache

Can we take DS down ?

He's going at the end of the season anyway Kaz

 

[LevyBee76]

Bayern really are worried if they are getting DS to print more stuff, hope the club find a way to end this once and for all soon

looks like Nick Harris will need a new pair of pants as he's getting that giddy

Can’t see that statement on the app.
