The time barred evidence wasn’t investigated though because it fell outside of the statute of limitations, so you are presuming guilt, Cas, nor Uefa for that matter had a remit to investigate it, Uefa broke their own rule. Given that CAS have exnorated City within the time period under their remit and overruled Uefa, you would presume innocence as opposed to guilt. As they state the burden of proof is on the accuser and Uefa didn’t meet the threshold or their own rules for that matter.
The panels individual opinion is irrelevant, the law is the law, it’s proven with evidence under due process to a threshold that wasn’t met. I think City are as guilty as sin, but Uefa didn’t prove their case, apply their rules properly and thus FFP is now a fudge.
City have been found guilty of not cooperating with the investigation and fined 10 milllion. That’s not found guilty of breaching FFP.
