Man City vs Uefa court case details revealed by CAS

Manchester City DID provide to the Court of Arbitration for Sport the full content of the leaked emails which formed the basis of Uefa’s two-year ban.
And the independent court agreed with the Blues that nothing in them was proof that they had disguised owner investment as sponsorship money.
That was at the nub of the CAS decision to overturn Uefa’s two-year ban, which means City will be free to play in the Champions League next year.
CAS finally revealed the written reasons for their decision today, and said that three of Uefa’s allegations had been “time-barred” - that is, Uefa broke their own rules which state that any charges for breaches of financial fair play rule cannot stretch back further than five years.
But two more Uefa allegations were thrown out by CAS as lacking sufficient proof after City mounted a solid defence.

They pointed out that they were hacked by Rui Pinto, currently in jail facing criminal charges in Portugal, and said that “the Portuguese court has stated that Mr Pinto is not a whistleblower but is an extortionist, and that the stolen documents should not be used against the victims of his hacks.”
That was thrown out by Uefa, who said even if hacked, the emails were in the public interest.
But Uefa failed to show that the emails, once put into context, proved any wrongdoing.
The adjudicatory committee which initially found City guilty in February put great emphasis on mention in emails of “alternative sources” for most of the sponsorship fees in 2010. But that inadmissible as it referred to payments from a year BEFORE the break-even requirement.

The mistaken identification of Sheikh Mansour in one of the emails was central to City's defence
The leaked emails also made mention of “His Highness” which was assumed to mean City owner Sheikh Mansour.
But City’s team said that this in fact referred to Sheikh Tahnoon, chairman of the Abu Dhabi Tourist Authority – the CAS panel said there was no reason to believe that was untrue.
It was also claimed by City that the adjudicatory committee “wrongly assumed that the criminally obtained documents are genuine”, when they said it was obvious that at least some of the documents have been “edited to achieve a particular presentation”.
They also made the claim, accepted by CAS, that some of the financial “arrangements” discussed in the email had never come to fruition.
City said the leaked emails were “confusing snapshots, taken out of context, of matters that simply did not happen in the way that has been portrayed.”
The panel agreed that the CFCB adjudicatory committee had failed to reach the standard of proof required, and that the fairness of the market values of the sponsorship agreements was never questioned.
The Blues’ legal team said “MCFC has cooperated, in the face of a shifting and still uparticularised case involving allegations of fraud and conspiracy.”
They had said the leaked emails should not be admissible, but still answered the allegations based on them, and eventually agreed to release the original emails – there were six of them and one attachment used, out of around 5.5million hacked emails.
City also claimed that the CFCB had “systematically breached its duties of confidentiality and impartiality” during the process and that “ultimately MCFC has been investigated and prosecuted through a process that lacked impartiality and has, moreover, harmed MCFC.”
The CAS found that “leaked email number four is in fact a combination of two separate emails” which gives a “somewhat distorted impression”, and they based their decision on the originals, rather than the hacked versions published by Der Spiegel.
City and Uefa disputed when the five-year time bar should begin, and the panel adjudged any breaches before May 15, 2014 were inadmissible, which ruled out alleged breaches in 2012 and 2013.
But allegations dating to 2013-14 and 2015-16 were admissible – but the panel found insufficient evidence to find City guilty.
“The majority of the panel finds that the leaked emails by themselves are not sufficient evidence to support a finding that MCFC provided incorrect information to UEFA by disguising equity funding as sponsorship contributions”, they said.

City produced witnesses including board member Simon Pearce, also close to the Abu Dhabi Royal Family.
He replied “absolutely, categorically not” when asked if he had arranged payments to be made to Etihad to help fulfil sponsorship obligations.
The panel noted that none of the emails involved Etihad.
Uefa had claimed that the fact there were two separate payments of £59.5million and £8m made from Etihad was proof that one of them had been channelled through the airline from the funds of Sheikh Mansour’s Abu Dhabi United Group.
But City said the two payments came from two different budgets – central funds and marketing. Uefa said the £59.5 came from ADUG and the £8m from Etihad.
The panel found that the accounts also do not contradict City’s case, and that Uefa had singularly failed to provide any real proof that the Blues had breached FFP rules.
“Neither hypothesis is established and then it boils down to the burden of proof,” they said. “Given that UEFA carries the burden of proof and because the majority of the panel finds that it did not succeed in satisfying such burden, UEFA’s allegations must be dismissed.
They added: “There is no doubt that Etihad fully complied with its payment obligations towards MCFC and that MCFC rendered the contractually agreed services to Etihad in return.”
The award said the sponsorship agreements were “fair value” and there was no evidence City had tried to cover up any alleged violations or that they had actually gone through with some of the arrangements discussed in emails
They concluded that “UEFA’s theory on disguised equity funding remains unsubstantiated” adding the “theoretical possibility that this may have happened can certainly not be excluded but that is not the standard to be applied.”
City were eventually found guilty of failing to cooperate with the investigation by the semi-independent Club Financial Control Body.
City’s legal team had, CAS award, refused to cooperate because the evidence on which Uefa were proceeding was based entirely on hacked emails.
It said they “decided not to answer any questions on the authenticity of the criminally obtained documents or to produce any of the documents requested, suggesting that the request had not been made in good faith by the Chief Investigator.”
Uefa insisted they were relevant saying “Indeed they are at the core of this case.”
The panel found City should have cooperated with the investigation, and fined the Blues 10million euros.

America no fit fight iran

Originality007:
Dermmy seems ur Rouge iran have started biting more than what they can chew, by the time America revenge, hope u will not call dem Bully this time around?

The US is actually the "aggressor".

I love the US more than anything...

Their culture, ingenuity and enterprising spirit has made the world a fantabulous place.

Even this internet we are using now, including operating systems and browsers, na them.

But right now, they have Iran in a hard place...

They can't even do business with most countries because the US has placed sanctions on them.

What is the origin of the US/Iran beef?

In 1953, the CIA overthrew Iran's democratically elected government because... oil and installed a puppet.

After they took back their country in the 1979 revolution, the US has been beefing them ever since.

On another note, aircraft carriers are relics of the past.

If you field them against any serious adversary, they'll be blown out of the water on day 1.

Missiles, which Iran has plenty of, has rendered them obsolete.

Hahahahahahahaha... Can't imagine what Trump would be thinking at the moment. laughing at them I guess coz they're no match to him and he needs good reason to strike back. They just gave him multiple of it.
Trump, abeg tamper justice with mercy. Forgive them coz they know not what they're doing and they're no match to you.

Chienex24:
As much as I frown at US aggressive behavior in general, Iran should learn how to stop making noise!!

They can calm down and develop their military then if US threatens them, they can strike back. They can learn a clue from North Korea.

Their own gra gra just too much!! That is how they do gra gra and got their general killed and till now, no substantial revenge has been carried out.

I agree with you in most points you raised except the issue of aircraft carriers... Aircraft carriers are actually the machinery used by the USA to project force all over the world. No single nation has more aircraft carriers than d USA.

If you have read the battle of midway in worldwar 2 against Japan, then you will understand the importance of the carriers as that was the turning point of that war, according to many expert analysis.

If you think world war ii was long ago, then you must be mistaken because aircraft carriers in the 21st century are modernized and sophisticated with modern weapons, anti-missiles and are nuclear powered. They are even armed with laser weapons.

If you are still in doubt, during Obama's presidency, a missile was fired at a US carrier from Yemen, but was easily defended against by missile defense systems from the warship. The US warship also fired warning shot at the site of origin and even targeted and destroyed the radar they used as a warning to them. Google is your friend.

Remember also that modern warships sizeable as aircraft carriers are capable of carrying many fighter jets, as many as 60-100 including US sophisticated F-35s and F-22s. Air superiority is key in any battle in modern times, so the presence of carriers at seas near your country is enough to give you headache because even when you fire at it, these jets can easily take of and strike targets at your country and note that they are also stealthy and equipped with missiles

Finally, 2/3 of the planet earth is covered by water, far more than land mass. That is why superpower nations also have modern sophisticated submarines underlying the importance of sea battle which of course, the USA is also well-equipped with.

I hope with this few points of mine I have been able to convince and not to confuse you that aircraft Carriers are important even in modern times, thank you

NOETHNICITY:
No substantial revenge?
You are joking bro

Iran beat every bit of the imagination of all who are familiar with global affairs by firing barrage of messiles at USA bases in Iraq, only for US soldiers to hid themselves in bunkers like cowards.
The potency of the Iranian messiles was initially denied by USA until on ground CNN reporters reported the real extent of material damages.
Over the course of the next week over 100 US soldiers came down with brain injuries

You’re right, he don’t need to google it, he should go to YouTube and watch the videos , gosh!


USS NIMITZ is a fucking big giant monster! Best on the planet earth ! Biggest Strike group on earth, An airfield oh water, only nuclear warheads can casue it a little damage, but the weapon can’t even come closer because it’s guarded heavily by destroyers of US, German and Norway! With a nuclear armed submarine that is always at her back!
Future, it generates power that can give one full country light, it can sail 25 years without refueling, and its personal defenses are best!

In fact USA is world power till any other country will get money to build Nimitz class , Gosh what a piece of war machine it is

That terrorist Dermmy has changed his moniker permanently, its been very long since I saw the moniker on any thread. The fear of American drone is the beginning of his wisdom" his new moniker might be olominira or that abdujabar4 they both reason and think alike.

Did you know that since Trump, a christian, ordered the murder of Iran's Gen. Suleiman, a muslim, the world has never known peace? See how covid-19 is ravaging both US and Iran.
