Yep. Everyone will know peanut head has to cheat to ‘win’.
Not that we didn’t already know that.

Part of the issue is financial accounts are filed after the event.
For example a team cheating FFP this season probably won't need to legally file their accounts until March 2021....perhaps even later if they are a private company.
The football administrators are always 2 years behind the offence.
For me, this is different to say PSG buying Neymar then not having to prove they could afford it for 2 seasons. This is a very visible cheat. They have given themselves money and told everyone that they have received it in sponsorship. Surely there must be regulations on reporting Sponsorship, like how much they are receiving, what the structure is and proving that it's coming from a third party not related to the club. This should happen for every club, at every level. And it should be done in advance of the deal going ahead.
Any wealthy club owners could buy any old label/brand and then give themselves a few hundred million extra.
ENIC could buy Chick King and put that on our shirts and tell Uefa that they paid £500,000,000 to do it, then blow all of that on players. It's so obviously a con it should never have been allowed to progress that far.
After watching this. . . I doubt the ban will hold up, or if it does it won't come in to effect for atleast the next 5 years.
CAS will not find UEFA's process satisfactory as it is investigated, charged and Judged by themselves. How can that not be seen as an unfair process? Regardless of how guilty we all know City are this is the way of the world and City have found a loophole to extend this case for up to a decade.
The precedent for claiming "unfair investigation" is already there from the case mentioned in the video
5th will not get you CL this season, I would put my house on it.

But UEFA have agreed to accept CAS as the arbitrator so it now follows that CAS has jurisdiction to decide on the present dispute.It's a UEFA competition, they decide who does and does not compete.
AC Milan didn't hire 50 of the best lawyers in the world and weren't willing to go to the extremes that city will to tie this up on court for a decade.This is how all these cases work. UEFA sets the rules for their competition and they enforce the rules themselves. AC Milan's punishment held up. Just like the FA sets the rules for all competitions organised and owned by them, as well as investigates any suspected breaching of said rules and delivering the verdict.
Why is it a loophole for City but not for AC Milan?

Ah right, I see what you're saying. That's an interesting analogy.You are right but that process in its self is flawed. If they are the ones both gathering evidence, presenting charges and passing the sentence then it's easy to say that there's something unfair going on.
If Uefa had a process where they gathered evidence, presented charges and then took it to some sort of Sport's Tribunal who then decide the verdict and sentencing then that could be seen as a fair process
It's like a copper nicking me and then sitting in the judges seat deciding my verdict and sentence. The argument is that of course he would find me guilty because he's the one that nicked me! There's no part of the process that is impartial.
Believe me I hope i'm wrong!
This gives me hope :avbpray:But UEFA have agreed to accept CAS as the arbitrator so it now follows that CAS has jurisdiction to decide on the present dispute.
It's interesting that it's not UEFA who investigated the case but CFCB, that weakens City's 'closed shop' case a lot if CAS recognise the distinction between UEFA and CFCB
