You can understand them trying to avoid being linked with corruption (again) given their fairly recent history. If the Italians are pushing for charges against Juve and the former directors then it gives the perfect excuse for UEFA to back off.There is no evidence but as I alluded to in an earlier post it seems to me uefa had been covering up for one of their own and will now do anything they can to distance themselves.
I’d piss myself if they find out it’s Parry.
Given that Der Spiegel had (and still have presumably) the physical hard drives in their possession and that they're supposedly "investigative reporters", you'd imagine it wouldn't be too much of a struggle.With Rui Pinto bang to rights, the biggest Whodunnit in the whole affair is who doctored the City emails and why. You'd think there would be an investigative journalist somewhere in the world who'd be enquiring.
Different laws in GermanyI still don’t understand how Der Spiegel have not committed a crime. Surely it’s similar to receiving stolen goods.
Great spelling mate :-)Wasn't the Premier League investigation something to do with licencing? We have to submit some financials to the league which gives us a licence to play in Europe and the accusation is we gave bad financials so fraudulently obtained a licence. Or have I totally made that up?
Ha as I was writing it I had you mind. To be honest I had no idea if I spelt it correctlyGreat spelling mate :-)
You did. All three.Ha as I was writing it I had you mind. To be honest I had no idea if I spelt it correctly

You say that, but that actually has happenedUEFA would announce an investigation which never took place.
indeedYou did. All three.
Edit: just noticed you spell licensing wrong! Licence correct x2 though.
‘C’ if it’s a noun, and ‘s’ if it’s a verb.
David Conn. Bet he's all over it. Especially with him being a City fan.You'd think there would be an investigative journalist somewhere in the world who'd be enquiring.
Yes. That’s why I posted sarcastically.You say that, but that actually has happened
City stopped cooperating with UEFA because someone at UEFA was leaking information to certain journalists, who kept reporting exactly what documents City were passing to UEFA These journalists had a close long established relationship with Rick Parry, former chief executive of Liverpool, so it was quite obvious where the press leaks were coming from
City then drew the line and refused to cooperate no further
After CAS, City made a formal complaint about the press leaks, UEFA then said their ethics committee would open an investigation
Parry left his post at UEFA to become head of the Football League and the investigation evaporated, never to be heard of again

Lee is a disrespectful motherfucker.Or Sam Lee friend of the Bluemoon podcast who had so much to say before the verdict. You’d think with his finger on the pulse & the fact he’d been made to look such a twat after his ramblings were found to be spoon fed propaganda.
One word too many.Lee is a disrespectful motherfucker.
