No this is exactly why I said what I said.
As soon as you make it in-house you guarantee the entire media treats it like baseless propaganda. Harris' reaction is exactly what I expected and it'll be what they all say.
It's much better to try and find an interview with some soft presenter wants to be part of a big story on a neutral channel while retaining as much editorial control as they will concede.
Its possible they tried and couldn't get the control they wanted, but with the interview as it is, only City fans will take it seriously and I dont think they needed to convince us.
The prospect of the club's majority shareholder and our Abu Dhabi stakeholders accepting a settlement on the terms that I would is, in my uninformed view, negligible. Remember that UEFA have found us guilty of inflating sponsorships and, if that's true, it means the club's audited accounts are inaccurate. That's a big accusation to throw at a business, because it brings into question the honesty and good faith of those running it as well as of the auditors. For that reason, in my opinion only total exoneration is likely to be seen as acceptable in the UAE.
No this is proving exactly what I said.

Martin Lipton journalist on Talkshite just now.
"They would say that wouldn't they."
This is the BS
He Couldn't have made it clearer that there are two factions within UEFA and the whole business is political. This has been blindingly obvious for months if not years. I wonder how this will be reported in the mainstream media in the UK. Are they going to call Soriano a liar? It was a great statement. Didn't give our hand away legally but dropped a couple of hand grenades. It does seem clear that UEFA have just ignored our defence. FFS is it really true that UEFA have built their whole case on a few stolen emails (out of context) in a German magazine that has subsequently been shamed (in a different case) for literally making up stories? And those emails were hacked by a man who is in jail and faces trial on 90 charges of hacking, extortion and fraud. Is that all they have got?What a fucking beast! Should speak more often!
'We will do everything that can be done to prove so' (that the allegations are false).
- No problem with UEFA, just the FFP Chamber.
- Ruling was political.
- Leaks through out.
- We cooperated but the Chamber was convinced of our guilt every step of the way.
What a great interview.
Rob Harris , maybe can't understand properly - when he says Ferran can't talk a lot about it. Much needed from club
