St Samuel jumping ship as well.....so soon
"
By MARTIN SAMUEL - SPORT FOR THE DAILY MAIL

"There will not be much sympathy for Manchester City in football. They misled UEFA and its Club Financial Control Body. They inflated figures, deceived over revenue streams, and the size of their punishment, the suspension from European competition, the fine of £25million, is confirmation of the gravity of this offence."

did we really Martin?

Deep down we all knew it would come to this, the club must have too. How many years has this dragged on for now? It feels like forever. UEFA, the media, individuals have all chipped away at us, fined us, bad mouthed us with impunity and we have stayed silent, smiled, "Taken a pinch." It doesn't work. It never has. Bullies have to be confronted and defeated, that is always the way or you stay a victim forever. Now is the time to fight the lot or roll over and die. No more appeasement.

I'm not overly impressed by the club. We've had years and years of tough talk from Khaldoon, so far that has got us absolutely nowhere. No standing up to the relentless and sustained attacks and smears from certain parts of the media, for years now.

It's frustrating to read on here as well that most assume the club are without fault 100%. We have on the one hand threads and threads about the fans being alienated, match days only being catered for tourists, not renewing etc etc and yet with something like this there is a blind faith that the club are absolutely spot on.

That's because the game is not a level playing field. You don't blame the losing team, you blame the guys who bent the table.

So on Valentine's day with UEFA showing how much they love us, I just hope that if CAS throw out the case on a technicality as they have with other cases for other clubs in the past that we don't just settle for that. The damage to our reputation will still be there if that's the case and we should seek reparation for this.

I don't want us to win on a technicality.
 
So now we can take the gloves off.

It’ll be overturned.

I just hope we take UEFA apart in the process.
 
Apart from all the anger on here, are we actually guilty of being lying cheats? Ànyone know?
 
UEFA " not only we banning you for 2 seasons"

"We want £"25,000,000 Cash for 5 Star Hotels,and High class Hookers"

No shame.

A scope document should come at the start of the investigation. It sets the parameters, the scope of what the investigation should concern itself with.
The fact that the scope document was only provided after the matter had ben passed to the adjudicatory chamber tells a story:

UEFA investigatory chamber: "have you seen these leaked emails?, fucking hell we might have something here, lets open an investigation"
UEFA teaboy: "you realise those were stolen, are out of context and oh the statute limitations runs out any day now?"
UEFA investigatory chamber: "shit, shit, shit, kick it upstairs now !, oh and don't forget to gob off to your mates in the press, we will have these bastards"
City: "errm, what are you investigating us about exactly?"
UEFA investigatory chamber: ………
City: "errm, what are you investigating us about exactly?"
City: "and would you please respect your own confidentiality rules whilst you decide?"
UEFA adjudicatory chamber (to the investigatory chamber): "you dickheads, where is the investigation report?"
UEFA investigatory chamber: ………
UEFA investigatory chamber: "here have our scope document instead"
City: "errm that's not due process"
UEFA adjudicatory chamber: "never mind that, will you just pay a fine/accept a ban please?"
City: "NO, fuck off !"
City: "and would you PLEASE respect your own confidentiality rules?"
UEFA adjudicatory chamber: "never, how dare you accuse.... "
City: > CAS
CAS: "UEFA you are a bunch of fucking clowns, go away and think about this properly"
UEFA: "Shit, shit shit - what do we do now ?"
UEFA: "errmmm"
UEFA: "errmmm, leak some other shit"
UEFA: "errmmm"
UEFA: "errmmm"
UEFA: "errmmm"

Feeling a little guilty now as my post obviously pushed UEFA over the edge ;-)

Sorry blues

City will surely come out swinging now, and it’ll be interesting to see how it plays out in the CAS. The punishment seems absurdly harsh and I’d be surprised if it was upheld. Even a reduced punishment (e.g. a one year ban) would still be extremely damaging though. A fascinating few months ahead, with a lot on the line for both parties.

It’ll either stick or be overturned. There is no middle ground here.

We are not taking pinches anymore Ric, the gloves are off now.

I will be absolutely startled if this isn’t removed entirely and we then sue for damages. Which will be millions.
 
It would be wonderful when we play Madrid if every single piece of UEFA branding was torn down and lobbed in the direction of the bent fuckers from UEFA who still have the temerity to turn up at our ground.
