Article 37 – Statute of limitations Prosecution is barred after five years for all breaches of the UEFA Club Licensing and Financial Fair Play Regulations.

Article 38 – Time limits 1 A time limit begins on the date from which the decision is notified or published, whichever is the earlier. It is considered to have been observed if acted upon by 24.00 CET (Central European Time) on the deadline date. Official holidays and non-working days are included in the calculation of time limits. When a deadline expires on a Saturday, Sunday or public holiday in the Swiss canton of Vaud, where UEFA's headquarters are located, it is carried forward to the next working day. 2 On receipt of a reasoned, written request, the CFCB chief investigator or CFCB chairman may extend a time limit. 3 Time limits are interrupted from 20 December to 5 January inclusive.
 
Article 72 appears also to have an 8 year window for 2 year suspensions - this is from 2019, which is the most recent version I can find, assuming we're referencing the same thing!

I suspect it doesn't apply, as the CFCB have a separate set of regs.
That's right but I'm talking about them reopening it. That was 5 yrs 1 day, so the 2 year ban shouldn't stand. If as quoted above its from breach, that's even longer. Either way it appears they missed their own deadline. It's not like they're known for being incompetent is it

Thanks but I wanted a link for the podcast ;)

They've had their moments!

The supposition raised at the time (May 2019) was that it was 5 years since the last judgement; for no journalist or apparently club official to have spotted such an oversight makes it a vanishingly small chance of being a problem.

I don't think the posted articles 37 and 38 specify whether the date of action is Day 0 or Day 1.
 
According to the UEFA regulations they actually have a window of 5 years from the breach rather than the date of the settlement. This being the case they timed themselves out (c/o Stefan on 93:20 podcast & blog).

In the blog it says this

9. On 15 May 2019, the Investigatory Chamber issued the Referral Decision (“Referral Decision”). This was the eve of the 5 year anniversary of the 2014 Settlement Agreement. It is unlikely, in my view, this was co-incidental (cf Article 37[7] of UEFA’s Procedural Rules governing the UEFA CFCB).

As I read it, if 15 May is the eve, then he doesn't believe that 16th was outside the period.

Your faith in the sagacity of our persecutors is touching ;)

My personal view is that they did this deliberately and now know that CAS will throw it out over a technicality, therefore we'll be 'cleared' yet forever tainted.
