Whether winning the appeal or not, and having experienced the CPFC ups and downs and ups again, for over 70 years, there is a quotation that has helped and encouraged me to better things:
"I (CPFC) know you all (UEFA) and will awhile uphold the unyok'd humour of your idleness; yet herein will I imitate the sun who doth permit the base contagious clouds to smother up his beauty from the world, that when he please again to be himself, being wanted, he may be more wondered at by breaking through the foul and ugly mists of vapours that did seem to strangle him." (Shakespeare, Henry IV, Act 1, Scene 2)
Let's take what we get and attempt to WIN IT and let all Europe wonder at us!
