And why the fuck should we give the BBC exclusive access to our chairman?

I'm glad he said something but the production of that video was a bit weird, panning to shots of all the great things the club has done felt a bit propaganda-ey.
Cant believe they couldn't find someone from independent media to ask the same softbakk questions though, someone like Lineker would have loved to sit there and ask those same questions for the BBC.
And then they would have edited it and twisted it as they wanted

I think that was very important & he made he point about the negative under tones that they have to deal with.
not many know what they’ve done for Manchester.

We want our money back that paid as part of that pinch.Well UEFA have broken the "Pinch" agreement they came to with us in 2014 that was supposed to draw a line under the whole affair, so it would be no surprise to me if we were to go to a Swiss court over that. Especially as UEFA went through our sponsorship arrangements in fine detail between 2012-2014.

That interview would have been run past legal and probably edited numerous times as a result. You can't do that with external media and the risk would be too great to not have final control over the output.
Key part of the interview for me is this.
"They relied more on out of context stolen emails than all the other evidence that we provided about what actually happened".
That screams out to me about the email saying ADUG should supply the Etihad money which we now know didnt happen because the money came from the EC.
We know Leterme has a habit of just ignoring evidence he doesnt like without explanation (like the 5m valuation of PSGs qatar sponsorship).
If he did something like only accept the (out of context) email saying ADUG funded Etihad as fact, that would make us guilty to him even if the club had "irrefutable" evidence otherwise.

Nice one Ferran and team. Smashed it lad!
Confidence is building for our day in court against UEFA/MUFC/Arsenal/Liverpool/Juve/Bayern and the so called pond scum Media etc
Hopefully it be one of our greatest ever victories.

Saying we hope to have it done by the summer? Fuck that, I'd drag this fucker out til the winter, fuck the champions league format and UEFA need to know what teams are in, UEFA have caused all this mess so if I was city I'd say no rush, let's take our time and fuck your schedule.
Very happy with that message. Exactly what needs to be said and doubling down on our stance.
If we are still found guilty by CAS, we are in a very difficult place. The club has been so strong that it is innocent, to then be found guilty by an independent body, who then do you believe.
Until then, I believe my club and what it is telling me and anyone assuming guilt at this stage knows as much as I do, which is f all, about the facts. It is just their opinion/prejudice

Whoever, I wouldn't even let them near the tea lady.

Because theres a lot more credibility to any kind if statement or interview that's not done with the in house media.

Good to hear that. We've taken some heavy (and dirty) blows in the last few days, and it feels good to see someone at the very top of the club fronting up, and aligning the support.

Is this the same BBC that have come out with such lines that 'Shiekh Mansour owns Etihad' etc. over the last few days? Credible my hairy arse hole.Because theres a lot more credibility to any kind if statement or interview that's not done with the in house media.

As someone else has said, City will be taking legal guidance on everything we say or do.

Have the premier league released any statements regarding the uefa ban or know how they stand on the matter? From the point of view of other clubs with ambition (think the panel named Leeds and Sheffield wed as examples) they must think what the point of trying to get in to the premier league and Europe if you then have to compete with one arm behind your back while the select few can do what you want. Plus will it put any future investment in premier league product at risk because people might not want to invest in teams like Newcastle. Or are the premier league keeping quiet because like uefa they are protecting the few rather than looking after the game has a whole.

Yep, and the fact that it's a video rather than just a written statement would be on purpose too. Less chance of them twisting the words.And then they would have edited it and twisted it as they wanted
