Uefa only has itself to blame as full judgement on Man City CAS appeal reveals a body not fit for purpose

Read our privacy policy The full Court of Arbitration for Sport judgement on Manchester City’s successful appeal against their two-year ban from the Champions League throws up a number of issues. This resulted in the panel declaring, “As a consequence, since Uefa did not pursue its request to be provided with the runs of emails of which the Leaked Emails formed part, the majority of the Panel finds that no adverse inferences can be drawn from the fact that MCFC did not provide such information.” Uefa’s processes and tactics backfired badly. Cas said this was immaterial as events before this were time-barred by Uefa’s rules, although the panel noted that information provided by City last year “would have provided a more complete and accurate picture of two payments to MCFC in 2012 and 2013 that were before the CFCB when the Settlement Agreement was entered into.” Whether City like it or not, the stench of Football Leaks remains hanging around the Etihad. Uefa's FFP rules only work if clubs agree to cooperate with them The panel’s point that FFP relies on the cooperation of the clubs is correct.
