Again, The Athletic sending out contradictory messages.
If this prick is saying our owner has been found guilty of funding City directly, then it should also go without saying that them reporting Uefa are not considering a ban is absolute horseshit.
They are tying themselves in knots.
I'm sure City can take them to the cleaners.
Where are we up to with this now? Yesterday it seemed city were being found innocent of wrong doing, but fined for it - is that still the case?

The key term there is 'BBC'. Establishment broadcasting.
Is that the same BBC radio Manchester that binned off Ian Cheeseman for saying it as it is about Anthony Taylor?
Have to wait until next month. Rumours suggesting no ban everything else a guess.
Well a) is the correct answer. Khaldoon would not have been so strong in his statements unless he was sure of his ground.Can I just draw attention to the following -
Article 27 – Final decision
The adjudicatory chamber may take the following final decisions:
a) to dismiss the case;
or b) to accept or reject the club’s admission to the UEFA club competition in question;
or c) to impose disciplinary measures in accordance with the present rules;
or d) to uphold, reject, or modify a decision of the CFCB chief investigator.

My money is on a)
I'm an optimist
City seem to draw a line in the sand when the Sheikh gets dragged in and is potentially defamed. That's when lawyers tend to descend on offenders by the bus-load.Seems people can say anything against City these days with no consequence. If he’s had a go directly at our owner without grounds you would think City would at least request a written retraction and apology.
As ever, there's a whole lot of white noise going on around this affair. Where I think Castles may be right in his speculation is in the question of resignations.
A failure to obey the cartel of clubs who control the European, and by extension, the English games will, in my opinion, spell the end of UEFA and the "Champions League". It wouldn't surprise me if this was preceded by the departure, in faux indignation, of those officials most associated with the cartel clubs amidst another flurry of publicity around the bogus allegations.
I really need to know the truth about these alleged resignations. IF there have been resignations i would love to know who they are. It could be resignations because certain officials are disgusted at UEFA's spineless capitulation to a super wealthy club owner's threats.... OR it could be that a certain Mr Parry (and possibly a certain Mr Gill) has been presented with the gun on the table and told to do the honourable thing for landing UEFA on the very painful horns of a dilemma, the only exit from which is a full apology to City. This is the theory I outlined to PB in an earlier post - what are the chances PB?
We won't have to wait a month now, in my opinion.
There are too many people wanting to see us fail, for them not to pursue chapter and verse in the coming days.
Someone has let it slip out for a reason, we just need to discover whose purpose it serves best.
It could well be Slater got a germ and Sam Lee had to check it with City.
I await Lipton or someone in tomorrow's Sundays to try and put a slant on it that saves face for these cowards.
It'll be interesting to see if anyone of any consequence does resign and if so who. Hopefully it's that Belgian gobshite Leterme closely followed by Gill & Parry. Everyone in the business knows that Tariq Panja was close to Gill and it's also not hard to work out who the Liverpool mouthpieces are.I really need to know the truth about these alleged resignations.

I thought Rick Parry was out of Uefa and now boss at Football League?
I wouldn't want to be at that level of support if I'm honest, 659m glory hunters?Using pre season tour games as a guide one can't help notice if it's the rags or the dippers playing in the US, Asia or Australia the stadiums are dominated with rag and dipper shirts.
We're just not at that level of global support.....yet.
A resignation doesn't help us. A resignation is usually from a matter of principle, so those who are corrupted can simply sell it as such, disgusted with the process of City avoiding major sanction.
A resignation also doesn't need to be held off for a month, as I can't see City agreeing to let Uefa dress it up as a resignation, rather than a raft of sackings.
Either way, it serves City no purpose, as the mud still sticks with resignations, rather than public sackings.
I think Castles is just trying to wring the dregs of a story which passed him by these last 24 hours.
He was a member of the CFCB Investigatory Chamber I think until recently although he's not listed there now.I thought Rick Parry was out of Uefa and now boss at Football League?

Confidentiality was clearly breached during all this, to our detriment. If my theory that there's been a settlement hammered out is correct maybe our price includes P45's for some of those who can't keep their big mouths shut.
If the hawks do resign, it helps us and everybody else, in that issues are more likely to be dealt with on their merits, rather than on the grounds of hatred, jealousy, and who has the biggest ballsI agree it doesn't help us but I don't think UEFA can clear us without huge fallout in the sense of the "hawks" taking their bats home. After all, it's that threat which landed UEFA in this mess to start off with.
