Manchester City's Eufa Ban Overturned

[bluemoon1]

So it turns out that Manchester City did nothing wrong apart from not agreeing to let UEFA walk all over them. Any thoughts on this?

My thoughts are United have to secure the third or fourth spot.

We have no history, but united are history.

I suppose your lot will dancing around with Fez's on again, now the non corrupt UEFA haven't recieved a back hander from Dubai.

So manchester city can do what they like! Whats a £10 million fine? Loose change burning a hole in someones pocket.

No. That's not the conclusion. The CAS report makes that clear

The least surprising news of the year

Money talks. Had it been someone lower in the money lost, it may well have been a different story. FIFA and UEFA have never had the stomach for a legal fight.

We will probably never know the truth but this prosecution may well have been UEFA's petty reaction to Brexit. But they themselves are no strangers to sleaze. CAS do sound a bit better, but who knows?

They appear to have got off because the more serious breeches are time barred. Meaning they committed the offences but too much time has elapsed to prosecute.
But why didn’t EUFA know that when they imposed the fines ?

“ UEFA's petty reaction to Brexit.”

An interesting and I’d say wholly bizarre idea.

[Arksided]

That is a mystery Gomit ¿¿¿

Wow Canary, what with that Brexit comment on top of your ridiculous thread about the Brits on the lash in Europe, you're making Brexit trolling into an art form.
