what makes you think they wont face ANY sanctions ? City might take UEFA to court for lost of earns etc
We might sue them. More than likely we won't.
However, i meant there is nothing in place to stop them making false charges. They don't seem to answer to any government body.
The only threat to them is the cost of a lengthy claim afterwards. It shouldn't be up to us to regulate their behaviour. There needs to be something in place that prevents sanctions being given without passing certain criterias first. Like going before a truly independent legal panel before punishments are given out.
This case has proven that the press are delighting in the fact that we are guilty until proven innocent.
It should have been, we are charged. We either accept or deny the charges. If we accept, the punishment is declared and we can appeal the punishment.
If we deny, then it should automatically go into an independent process, that looks at boths sides fully, and rules if they have a genuine "legal" case.
Then all this bollocks could start etc.
As it is, nobody (like CAS) can do anything until they give their verdict. By then, some damage is already done.
