They’ve put their own video on YouTube. It’s an hour long so can’t be arsed watching it. Hatchet job on CAS from what I can see.
Apologies if this has already been posted and discussed or if this is the one people are already talking about.
I've just watched this after they discussed it on Talksport.
8.30-9.15 is the only bit worth watching. It's got the man who worked on FFP regulations at UEFA and then commentary from Panja on what it's intentions were.
That is the nail on the head. They so wonderfully set the scene with Mansour and his wealth and his yachts and all his far ranging power. They don't believe he just loves football and wanted to own City...there's more to it than that apparently. Forgive me if my jaw doesn't drop at that news!
But ultimately a club is bought by wealthy individuals in 2008 and in 2011 rules come in that prevent them from investing more than the club earns. Funny that isn't it. And yet Simon Jordan and most of the media don't seem to accept there has been behind the scenes pressure from certain clubs and individuals to punish us and ban us from competitions! As soon as our owners walked in, they were a threat and they'll continue their desperate attempts to stop us.
Whilst it would be nice for the club to point to an email and explain everything publicly, the evidence from CAS is there but ignored, so it's a pointless exercise. Drag them through the courts, tire them out and make everyone get so bored about it they lose all will. Then win.
