But he’s already put out the message that we have ‘avoided’ a ban and now we are so corrupt we have got round a fine.

instead he could have waited and published ‘Manchester City’s innocent stance vindicated as UEFA find nothing to ban or fine’

Oh I agree.

I mentioned it a few pages back but I find Sam Lee to be one of the slyest reporters out there. He’s not an over the top in your face City hater like some of the others out there so he gets away with it quite a lot. He clearly ****ing hates Pep from going off his tweets and articles that’s for sure. I guess if you were a United supporter writing about City then you would though wouldn’t you?

Take the win guys.

Other clubs, pundits and fans were expecting (hoping for) a ban. Looks like there won't be.

You can get all angry about a fine, but if it's like last time, this would have been agreed with City's lawyers.

So save your anger about appealing it. This is good news.

It’s job done on our reputation as far as I’m concerned.
They can continue reporting on us differently. They can continue officiating us differently because basically it suits the cabal of clubs and their sycophants that want to keep us out.

It is purely a selfish desire on my part rather than economic logic for City, but I personally would love this to come to a head now.
If we accept this it will be insinuated that we are buying our way out of being found guilty, by threatening a long legal battle.

That’s job done for those behind this and it won’t stop at that if they get away with it.

He will say what earns him the most money like the rest of them.

Glad to see that more and more are cottoning on the the Athletic as well because its no fucking different to the crap, rag/Dipper/London centric sports media we have to put up with.

Given that they've not banned us, I wholeheartedly expect some serious VAR skulduggery in order to ensure our progression in the knockout stages is short lived.

We get that already.
As far as I can see nobody except us cares.
They have successfully put a subliminal message out there that City don’t deserve to be there, so no one bats an eyelid at whatever fate falls upon us in their bent tournament.

Those behind this are nameless and achieving their goals without any condemnation in the press.

I think City should see this to a conclusion and go after those who have not yet been named.

Let the public see what is going on off field.

The sport is over if someone doesn’t challenge this shite soon.

It has to be us.

Hahahahaha backtracking by uefa no ban and they’ve probably briefed press that there’ll be no fine either,beggars belief how they thought they could at the minimum fine us for something we aren’t guilty of staggering...

So no ban because we’re not guilty but a hefty fine anyway just because they can fine anybody for anything. Tell them to get fucked, fight the fine as they would fight a ban.

Despite what the tin foil hat wearers say on here, they don’t want us banned from the competition, it would cost them money to do so and lose them money without us and that’s all they care about. we are supposed to be thankful there’s no ban and pay them what they really want, money. it's effectively extortion.

And the main job is done by discrediting us anyway.
They will continue to ensure we get nowhere near a final where the fans could let their feelings known to the world.

Don’t agree. Sam Lee is well balanced and has fought our corner a few times. In particular I’ve always found him very pro Pep.

If we are now saying we don’t like Sam either now how long before we have a go at Martin Samuel.

We look like dicks if we demonise everyone.
