It's notable that if nothing else, City's CAS referral on the grounds of unfair process has stopped the leaks to the press via the cartel's clubs - inferred proof of what was going on. I remember when the Upper and Investigative chambers first came to most City fan's attention how shocking it was to find that UEFA was run by officials closely connected to football's old guard, and we are expected to believe these people are neutral?

When discussing City, Darren Gough said on TalkSport on Friday's DriveTime show that they weren't allowed to discuss certain aspects of City's finances, and they swiftly moved on to another topic of conversation.

So why would TalkSport not be allowed to discuss City's finances? Is it something City has said? Could it be our lawyers talking to theirs? Could it be their lawyers acting unilaterally? Has this restriction been applied to other news sources?

Interesting, I presume it's due to the following if true (Not doubting @Gordyola , I've just not seen anything previously of City getting the lawyers involved)

C14? There is no way that any break-away competition could not include City

The issue is that the leaked documents have caused a problem for UEFA, they are damned if they don't and damned if they do investigate. The real issue is how they have gone about it, with the leaks come from within despite it being a confidential investigation and this has riled City, rightly so. Consequently City have trumed them by taking it straight to CAS. City's lawyers, three different practices, have warned the worst offending media organisations that they will not allow them to damage City's reputation any longer and City's public statement has warned the rest. CAS will eventually get around to looking at the case and almost inevitably it will be kicked-out a statement by UEFA will follow to say that the end of the matter. It will then become yesterday's chip paper

Plenty of reports of City have 3 different lawyer firms involved, much discussed previously on this thread, Tolmie mentioned that they have collared media organisations I guess the likes of Talksport are now being cautious as to what they allow to be discussed
