The CAS comes under direct prevue of the IOC which banned countries like Russia from Olympics, you really think City owners are more powerful than these nations :lol:
The sponsorships were at market value and UEFA couldn't find anything.

That was in 2011, since then we have won the league many times, been in the UCL for 9yrs. We got prize money and increasing sponsorships while selling players since then, Villa Everton have got more owner investment in recent years than us.

So why are you still under investigation from the PL?

Lawyer here. They got away with his because UEFA ****ed up and missed the limitation period for bringing the relevant charges, which is the only reason they got away with it, end of story. The Court of Arbitration for Sport was merely applying the rules - its a court of law not morals - and City have none.
 
It’s the media’s job to call out corruption. Likes of Neville won’t say anything because he wants rid of FFP so Salford City can climb the table.

You really want media to run a story from 10yrs back like it's not enough damage they're doing now. You are just misdirecting your anger on us when it should be on your owners who want a closed shop like the American Leagues so can fleece your club.

If you are a lawyer I suggest you go and read the verdict again, we didn't disguise equity investment as sponsorship, that was the heading of that verdict. UEFA with executives heads from various clubs were on a witch-hunt and asked every small details about our business which no club would provide. This is why we got charged for non-cooperation same thing PL is doing.

”Significantly, the two payments on which Uefa focused most of its case were ruled to fall outside of the five-year limit on bringing charges. These occurred in June 2012 and January 2013 respectively – and while Manchester City and Uefa disagreed over exactly when a ‘prosecution’ began - these dates fell outside the five-year window on either calculation. Cas rejected Uefa’s argument that these payments could nonetheless be prosecuted on the basis that they were reported again in later years that did fall within the five-year time period. The court held that this would artificially extend the limit to one of “five + two” years, negating the legal certainty for which a statute of limitations clause was created in the first place.”

You're kidding no one.

Jog on and buy some more trophies.

Ah the standard City fan defence of “you’re just jealous”.

Believe it or not some fans would rather see a fairer competition even at the expense of their own team winning it.

If Arsenal are ran poorly they don’t deserve to compete. I’m fine with it.

Agreed. But since you know that, and you know that we have spent the past 10 years wishing that our owner would spend more money, why do you bother arguing?

City spend a lot of money on their squad, that not in dispute. Accept the fact, celebrate it, and enjoy the glory.

Navas, Donnarumma, Hakimi, Ramos, Marquinhos, Kimpembe, Danilo, Verratti, Gueye, Wijnaldum, Herrerra, Paredes, Draxler, Di Maria, Neymar, Icardi, Mbappe, Messi, Sarabia...

I like the idea of that squad turning up to FC Metz on the coach for an away game and the assistant coach just turning to Poch like "Should we do any tactics today or?" and Poch like "Nah, just tell them they'll get a McDonald's drive thru if they win by 3 goals"
