Was it a peace making call or was it a standby to standby type of conversation?
I agree 100%. We need a good relationship with uefa. However we don’t need a good relationship with the media scum who will continue to write shit about us until we start taking strong legal action, whenever and wherever we have a case for defamation. Additionally we should make Sheff Utd our club of choice for loaning out any top young players when they need experience. They play football the right way, and clearly conduct themselves in the right wayI think it's time for the club and fans to draw a line under FFP. We were found not guilty and now we can move forward with the developing the club and pushing for more success. It's important to have a good relationship with governing bodies, hence why Khaldoon and Cerefin had a peace-making call once the CAS decision was announced.
We should be focused on the football and long-term success, especially in Europe.
Im sure you are rightI feel like Khaldoon would have been smooth with it, he constantly deals with international business and political relationships, i'm pretty confident the management of the club will want a positive relationship moving forward too, especially with the ambitions to be consistently successful in Europe.
Absolutely. I had a plastic rag at breakfast saying exactly that. I said "If you were charged with murder and locked up before any trial but were innocent and every time you spoke to the police, they reported back to the family of the victim, the prosecution and the press - would you consider not commenting any further until court?""but but but you got fined, so you must be guilty"
Anyone else getting sick of these types of fucktards? Jesus Christ, it's almost as if there isn't a lengthy document explaining the reasoning behind the fine

I reckon that's their main priority.If UEFA want to get all the Manchester City fans on their side.
Toeing.They’ve probably sacked him for not towing the line..
I understand the fans anger towards the media, what we need to understand is that the media industry is now based on sensationalist articles and headlines used to drive online clicks to a publisher's website and in context we're still a small club for generating clicks and people engaging with articles pro-city vs anti-city/pro liverpool/utd. Also there is an over-indexing of liverpool and utd fans in the media, (mentioned by Duncan Castle himself in the latest transfer podcast), and that either conscious or unconscious bias will effect the clubs reporting.
City need to have a long-term plan to alter the media reporting. Offer sports journalism courses from the Etihad campus. Target younger markets where professions have yet to be decided, and then organically we'll have a better, accurate representation in the media.
Got to be a little careful here. UEFA asked City to confirm the authenticity of the emails but we refused to do so (for reasons that were valid and have been gone over at length). UEFA therefore decided to accept their authenticity and that was correct as clearly decided by CAS. Der Spiegel is the most obvious target for our ire.Now it's been proven UEFA used hacked and doctored email to ban City. Who investigates UEFA ?. Why didnt UEFA investigate the souce of the emails ?. Why were there so many leaks by UEFA ? That needs investigate.
Theres alot of questions that need answering from UEFA, it's a shame our press/media havent got any balls to asks these questions.
Why arent questions being asked about the hateful 9 ?
Come the British press/media grow a pair and stop arse licking your bung masters.
I know how the media works pal, and if they can get away with lies they will continue to do so. We won’t ever overtake the support of dippers and rags, which is what causes the click bait lies, so we need to take a hard legal approachI understand the fans anger towards the media, what we need to understand is that the media industry is now based on sensationalist articles and headlines used to drive online clicks to a publisher's website and in context we're still a small club for generating clicks and people engaging with articles pro-city vs anti-city/pro liverpool/utd.
