CAS decision on Man City a disgrace, says Spurs boss Mourinho
The HinduThe Court of Arbitration of Sport's decision to overturn Manchester City's two-year UEFA ban from European football while fining the side 10 million euros is a disgrace, Tottenham Hotspur manager Jose Mourinho said on Tuesday. RELATED| However, the CAS on Monday said City did not violate FFP rules by disguising equity funding as sponsorship, but imposed a reduced fine for failing to cooperate with European soccer's governing body. “In any case it's a disgraceful decision because if City are not guilty then they should not be punished with the fine,” Mourinho told reporters in a virtual news conference ahead of Wednesday's clash against 13th-placed Newcastle United. “I think it's better to open the circus door and let everybody enjoy,” he added, Eighth-placed Spurs picked up a crucial win against rival Arsenal on Sunday but Mourinho said the result would count for little if his side cannot follow it up with a victory at Newcastle.
