Just reading up on this. The European Leagues group are entitled to nominate a representative to the Executive Committee and their current representative is Lars-Christer Olsson, from Sweden. Olsson has turned 70 so isn't eligible for re-election and Tebas is down to replace him. It has to be confirmed by UEFA though and another of the ExCo members is the head of the Spanish FA, who Tebas hates even more than he hates us & PSG. And of course, the PSG president, Nasser Al Khelaifi, is also on the committee so it may not be plain sailing for Senor Tebas.Amended for you PB. ;-)
It didn't stop other senior UEFA Execs who suggested we were guilty before the FFP investigation had even started or the others who leaked confidential information about our finances and false evidence from the investigation to the English media and our commercal rivals namely LFC and MUFC. It didn't stop the UEFA officials who have briefing negatively about us for years to their client journalsts. The appointment of Tebas is a statement of intent from our enemies at UEFA. CAS made it clear that the entire FFP probe was compromised and had no credible evidence against us. It was a witchunt and the next one is on its way.At the end of the day he will have to be careful not to slag off one of the member clubs in the organization in which he himself sits on the Executive Committee. City would have real precedence to nail him and claim bias in UEFA's competitions if he did.
Those comments came from the lead investigator to be fair, not upper UEFA officials.It didn't stop other senior UEFA Execs who suggested we were guilty before the FFP investigation had even started or the others who leaked confidential information about our finances and false evidence from the investigation to the English media and our commercal rivals namely LFC and MUFC.

Given he's head of La Liga and that's not stopped him previously I can't see why being on UEFA's board would make any difference.... The problem for him and UEFA though, is sooner or later he's going to put his foot in his mouth over something that's going to cost him his job and UEFA a loss of face...
The original infamous comments that it was a "concrete case" and that "City faced a ban" were made by Ceferin (then the President of UEFA). The ongoing leaks came out of the investigating committee itself. The leaked information was shared with some UEFA Exec members, our commercial rivals, and some journalists (mainly the New York Times). That's why City refused to co-operate with the process and went directly to CAS (where we eventually got a fair hearing). UEFA is corrupt from top to bottom.Those comments came from the lead investigator to be fair, not upper UEFA officials.
If real UEFA officials start spouting that as they are supposedly separate from the chamber, we can in that case nail them based on that for clear bias.
Agree with most of that but I still think the "concrete case" comment was taken out of context by many. It was discussed at length on here and he probably meant specific as opposed to something as damning as what concrete means to us. I also don't believe Ceferin is as much an enemy of our club as many others within UEFA. Although he didn't say it in as many words, he basically implied that Tebas is a fucking bellend in a previous interview. Having said that, Ceferin is probably little more than a puppet.The original infamous comments that it was a "concrete case" and that "City faced a ban" were made by Ceferin (then the President of UEFA).

Yes, the "concrete case" business was always a red herring. He meant 'substantive' as opposed to rumour and tittle tattle. However, Teabag (if appointed) is certain to say something that gets UEFA into hot water. I wonder if he will propose the removal of CAS as a court of last resort? (I believe under Swiss law appeal to the Supreme Court could not be denied by a UEFA rule).Agree with most of that but I still think the "concrete case" comment was taken out of context by many.
