Sorry, but the NY Times is a serious investigative newspaper and would not go about allowing such an article to be published without having real reason to believe it's sources to be legit.

Serious investigative newspaper??? LOL
The NYT are some of the biggest agenda pedllers out there. (On all topics.)
Wrapping your bias in a cloak of pseudo intellectual postering doesn't make you a credible news source.
 
Oddly, whilst I'm appalled by the behaviour of the cartel and its supporting media, I'm getting more relaxed about this by the day even if we do get a ban.

The more historical the alleged "offences" get the less they resonate with reasonable people. The people who are jumping up and down about this are the same people who get apoplectic with rage if we get a soft penalty.

The admiring public are getting less bothered. The youngsters around the world who are watching the greatest football team England has produced must be thinking WTF ?

The allegations are already watered down. No longer have we broken the rules but we've broken the "spirit" of the rules. It's almost comical and increasingly transparent that it's orchestrated by the old guard.

Any reputational damage also assumes that the general football public has some sort of respect for UEFA as a governing body. That went years ago and its corruption is now taken for granted.

We're watching the death throes of a mortally wounded regime. We may pick up a wound or two but, if they're not careful, we'll come out of this better than UEFA.
 
This is the best part for me, leaking the investigation won't look good if this has to go further.


Plus this bit of course:

Another thing is that City's lawyers should be pushing UEFA for the identity of the person leaking this information.

It's absolutely intolerable that someone close enough to the enquiry should be feeding the press without UEFA batting an eyelid. Apart from anything else, confidentiality is an ethical cornerstone of independent investigations.

Right on cue, City have just released a statement saying pretty much exactly that!

This is it we need to nail all these fuckers once and for all. UEFA, all the sniping journalists and their employers, the hacker and Der Spiegel. Where are all the other revelations they supposedly had on other clubs?

Every time we win a trophy or something good happens these fuckers start and I hope the club begin getting a few in court and taking them to the cleaners. Until they fear us as much off the pitch as they do on it this shit will continue. Time for the gloves to come off!
 
You can just imagine the s*** UEFA are getting from City now and their layers in private.
 
I like the final line:

'The accusation of financial irregularities are entirely false, and comprehensive proof of this fact has been provided to the CFCB IC.'

That very much ties in with the NYT line that UEFA are no longer looking at the inflation of sponsorship agreements.

Doe not mean that UEFA are going to back down, but does suggest that we have refuted one line of attack.
