There's this new thing called a search engine, it's really easy to use.There is an interesting case due at CAS on June 26th. it is listed as the Football Association v FIFA. that is all it says. I just wonder what that is really about. It doesn't state which football association it is, but as it is in English it has got to be ours. There is still no date been given about our court
Would you, perchance, have a figure for damages in your mind? :-)Grassland Blue that is what I have been saying all along. The problem about going for Der Speigel is I do not know if they have in Germany a law similar to our libel law. If they do then let's start the ball rolling. We can still do Der Speigel for theft, even though they printed the story in Germany the theft was on our data base and therefore happend in this country. We want substantial damages if this bankrupts them then so be it.
They're not sitting as judges within an independent judiciary though. They aren't an appeal court. Let's say you'd been the defendant in a legal case but hadn't been allowed in court, your defence team hadn't been allowed to present your case, you weren't even clear whether the panel of judges had even seen the evidence in your defence and the judges had been appointed by the plaintiff. Would you have faith that due process had been followed and that the verdict finding you guilty was entirely fair? I somehow doubt it.That is the bit that has troubled me ever since the announcement......
I believe that we are innocent of any wrongdoing.
The problem is, even if things go our way, some clubs' supporters will not accept that we are not corrupt and retain suspicion about us in their minds.
We really need to put this to bed and sue Der Spiegel and UEFA for reputational damage.

Particularly if you also knew that the person who oversaw that court had been offering you a plea bargain months beforehand, clearly suggesting they could influence the outcome.
Is that what they call a ‘Kangaroo Court’.They're not sitting as judges within an independent judiciary though. They aren't an appeal court.

No chance, not this time. We’re paying for making that mistake last time now.I hope the club go in for the kill.
My concern is UEFA will offer some concessions and we'll take that instead only to get fucked over again in another 5 years.
