I think he is just trying to be somewhat balanced in order for the latter parts calling our FFP as a cartel crafted measure intended to block City development and dominance to hold more weight for those non-City supporters reading the article.

Contrary to popular belief amongst the zealots, zealotry rarely wins minds or hearts.

he just needed to add 'alleged' a bit earlier - but he didn't and that tells you all you need to know about where's he's going if our appeal fails

If we win every game by a ton of goals, even the bent officiating can’t stop us. I hope this lights a fire under all their asses. Let’s see what type of hunger and fight these boys have now.

Unfortunately their referees & VAR will stop us - it's happened before and it will sure as hell happen again now.

It’s a complex situation. CAS will look at the detail and can well overturn, which I believe they will.

This is balls out now. Proper balls out. It’s a huge (and very clearly corrupt) organisation going up against one almighty football group/organisation.

They have backed themselves to win, or certainly have a settlement where a reduced punishment still means a year ban, that’s why they’ve done 2 years.

City feel they have enough but the critical question for me is what are we challenging now? The process of FFP itself in the CAS or that we have enough evidence to show we actually met their guidelines.

Those are 2 very different arguments, and for me, if the CAS overturn this then a huge can of fucking worms is about to be opened.

Yes the time for bluff and bluster is well and truly done now, it's shit or bust.
 
The penalty was decided by the elite clubs from day one.

The penalty is outrageous, but clearly designed for CAS to reduce it to a one season ban.

Even if that does happen it’s still galling given we run virtually a debt free club.

Can someone please confirm if it is *****TRUE*** or ***FALSE***** that the only right City have to challenging this vindictive,malicious, UEFA ruling is through CAS ?

I have been lead to believe we can take this to the highest courts in the land via Switzerland.

One or two posters on here are alleging we have no right to any further appeal after the CAS appeal and adjudication.That their adjudication will be final and legally binding.

That We/City signed an agreement with UEFA agreeing that this will be our only appeals process.

Surely this is not true,with our owner talking about fighting UEFA all the way.

The City statement says "in the first instance" re CAS.

I've always been under the impression that under FIFA rules no club or football association is allowed to use legal entities to challenge them or entities under them (UEFA).

In what Cosmos do you think that may happen?

It simply will not be allowed.

We’ll be winning on away goals and Madrid will get the softest penalty you’ll see, VAR will back it up and the hordes of philistines will be shouting “fuck ‘em, the cheats”.
 
I was thinking - perhaps now they should announce contract extension for Pep but then that actually may aggravate things even more in that they want him to go - so announcing he's not may not be so good apart from sticking 2 fingers up at rags and dips fans.

We NEED to fucking win it this year. The refs will be ordered to do their best to help the opposition but we can’t let that stop us. We just have to step it up and outplay everyone we are put up against. Corrupt bastards.

Hello mate.
I posted earlier that I understood this to be the case because this agreement between all clubs and UEFA was reported back in August in the press.
CAS may be our only appeal route?
