I have read it.

The thing is that the conclusion was based upon the permissible evidence. Even then it was only a majority of the 3 man panel. It wasn't a unanimous decision. So even without the time barred evidence one of the panel still thought City were guilty of disguising equity as sponsorship.

Worse still is that City were still found guilty of breaching FFP and fined £10m.
Worse atill is the r/s were found guilty of hacking another team's youth info and it never gets mentioned. Nonce behaviour that...
 
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.
As was said earlier ,why are we arguibg with a kopite.
Its like @kieran all over again .
His head will fall off eventually
 

Except City were found guilty for the second time of breaching FFP regulations. They avoided a ban because of a technicality over interpretation regarding the end point for FFP investigations becoming time barred. The bigger picture is that they create the rules, so they can easily extend the investigation period in future.

The other thing is that City's deals were multi year deals. UEFA can easily pick a year that isn't time barred.




Given the Coronavirus pandemic and the subsequent financial losses the case for FFP has only been strengthened.

FFP does impact us because it is based on a 3 year rolling period. So if we qualify then the previous 3 seasons matter.

I would stick two fingers up to FFP, spend whatever it takes to challenge for the title and hopefully win it.

If it resulted in being banned from Europe who gives a flying one. We would be league champions. We have been league champions before, and been banned from Europe through no fault of our own. So stuff UEFA / FIFA and their cosy closed shop for a select few clubs.

The ban would only be temporary anyway. The club could get back to where it was pre Heysel.
 
And worse still the RS were never classed as being in administration (and points deducted) despite the club having been taken off its owners and hawked around to find a buyer.

It is absolutely disgusting that they got away with that. They should have been deducted 12 points, coming off the back of a 2-0 Goodison defeat and with Roy Hodgson in charge. The powers that be are scared of upsetting that lot.
 

Love how all the kopites are convincing themselves that we are skint and the stadium is off.

Gonna be beautiful when we outspend them this window and PP is granted on the ground at the same time
You know how people accuse people of the same faults you have to deflect from self realisation of their own shortcomings. rs and money here.
