Ha! Ha! Very good riposte TH.

there is a bit of a sporting precedence for this approach, ie the TCCB response to the Kerry Packer cricket circus, although the reasons were significantly different (breaking apartheid sanctions if memory serves) and it was a response to players rather than to clubs, but the principle is similar

Yes, and despite the split good sense and unity prevailed in the end

I understand that Sturridge as an ex blue is offering evens we win, 6-4 we lose at CAS.

It’s not for qualifying years it’s says 20/21 21/22
The Adjudicatory Chamber has imposed disciplinary measures on Manchester City Football Club directing that it shall be excluded from participation in UEFA club competitions in the next two seasons (ie. the 2020/21 and 2021/22 seasons) and pay a fine of € 30 million.

The CAS statement last week said qualifying years. This contradiction was picked up straight away but hasn’t been clarified by city or uefa as far as I’m aware

The CAS statement last week said qualifying years. This contradiction was picked up straight away but hasn’t been clarified by city or uefa as far as I’m aware

Quote from CAS was "The appeal is directed against the decision of the Adjudicatory Chamber of the UEFA Club Financial Control Body (CFCB) dated 14 February 2020 in which Manchester City was deemed to have contravened UEFA’s Club Licensing and Financial Fair Play Regulations and sanctioned with exclusion from the next two seasons of UEFA club competitions for which the club would qualify and ordered to pay a fine of EUR 30 million."

The line can be read as "exclusion from season 2020/21 and 2021/22 of whichever competition (Europa League or Champions League or A.N.Other competition which might yet be dreamed up) that city qualifies for"
so in my opinion there is no contradiction with the line "The Adjudicatory Chamber has imposed disciplinary measures on Manchester City Football Club directing that it shall be excluded from participation in UEFA club competitions in the next two seasons (ie. the 2020/21 and 2021/22 seasons) and pay a fine of € 30 million." from the UEFA press release

Fuck, he couldn't get his own transfer tip correct !

 

[kinky's boots]

He's supposed to support City too. Just our luck that the one journalist that could at least print our side of the story just leads the fight against us.

He is only employed because he does so tbf. Sold his soul to satan it seems

Clearly something going on behind the scene for him to distance himself like that

Definitely starting to look like there’s a few smaller battles within the big battle.

The thing that makes no sense to me now is that it was the IC/AC who decided the severity of the punishment but it was handed down in the name of UEFA so surely they at least knew what punishment they were handing down?

Yet now we have the head of the organisation saying that not only as he not spoken to anybody about the case but has never even seen it
