La Liga want Man City investigation

Spot on.

Same goes for attendances, the club's silence is letting people run away with the "Emptihad" / "plastic fans" bull shit.

It's about time the club's PR strategy changed from complete silence, to actually defending the club and its fans.

This. Our PR is a joke and has been for years.
This is now a serious accusation made against us and action should be taken against the statement over financial doping

Surely, with the likes of PSG, Chelsea and City, all having to pay a premium for top players, we are actually investing money into the game. If UEFA ask Wolfsburg, Everton, Liverpool, Spurs, Monaco, Benfica, Schalke, Arsenal etc, if they have a problem selling players to City for huge fees, it'll be 'no problem for us, do you want to buy any others?' It's killing the Spanish losing Neymar, albeit for world record money, and looks like Lionel wants out on a free. Just killing them!
 
just release a letter with the actual figures on, and say that anyone who continues to accuse us of wrongdoing and doping will be pursued to the fullest extent of the law
 
Can understand their point after all they brought in a set of rules to stop new money.
The fact that it failed is unlikely to alter the thinking of powerful men and their view of our newcomers tainted start up money.
Almost right. It's amazing they dropped some of the conditions to new money being introduced into a club when G14 clubs fell on hard times and needed a cash injection from new investors.
 
In 2014 Khaldoon said he would like to sit down in 6 or so years and discuss with "our friends at UEFA" whether City's business model was superior to UEFA's - he was certain that it was. Only 3 years later it is beyond dispute that he is right. Tebas's panicky outbursts are simply further recognition of just how right he is. In 2014 City took "the pinch" because it was no more than an irrelevant and minor annoyance. It messed our CL campaign up that year but the Sheikh and Khaldoon take the long view. And now there are no smug smiles from Barcelona, Munich, Milan or Salford. How things have changed!

City now attract bigger crowds than they have for years. They are one of the most watched teams on television, not just in the UK nut in the US and just about everywhere else. The club attracts a whole range of sponsors without recourse to noodle sellers or dubious dating sites. And it is profitable, and profitable to the extent that it can carry out a complete rebuilding of the squad from revenue generated entirely from "acceptable" streams and with no recourse to dodgy loan deals or ridiculous fees and wages. And facilities for the first team, the women's team and all the youth teams which are the envy of the world - all paid for withou incurring one penny of debt.

So, if you want UEFA to investigate, Sñr. Tebas, that's fine by me because you'll find UEFA forced to admit that what football needs is more owners like Sheikh Mansour and more managing directors like Khaldoon al Mubarak and that City's business model is vastly and inherently superior to the one they wanted to force on football. And things will only get better.....for City.

Excellent post.

To paraphrase the late Bob Monkhouse:

They laughed when we told them that we would soon be a major force in European football. They're not laughing now!!
