"Manchester City showed 'blatant disregard' in Uefa FFP case, says Cas"
"Uefa said the case represented "the most serious, sophisticated, deliberate and fundamental attempt to circumvent and violate basic financial fair play principles". It said the "attitude of the club" should also be considered, given it gave "demonstrably incorrect information and continues to change its explanations".
Cas' written findings also say a majority of its panel found the failure to co-operate was a "severe breach".
However they did not find that the lack of co-operation was decisive in the charges of breaching FFP rules being dismissed.
"The panel is of the view that Uefa by no means filed frivolous charges against City but based on the evidence the panel cannot reach the conclusion that disguised funding was paid to City," the report, released on Tuesday, said.

"It added: "City's failure to co-operate with the investigation is a severe breach and City are to be seriously reproached."
To summarise,
Corrupt as fuck, lied their arses off
BUT:
"Cas overturned the two-year ban, saying that most of the alleged breaches of FFP rules were either
not established or time-barred."
What is the fucking point in having FFP?
