Is Mansour not on the European committee?Despite losing at CAS UEFA still believe City were/are guilty. Ceferin has made some recent comments via The Telegraph. City's exec should call him up to ask him to explain himself and ask him what specific evidence is Ceferin referring to? Ceferin's reps presided over a kangaroo court. What a jerk!
‘We know we were right’: Uefa chief Aleksander Ceferin sure of Man City’s FFP guilt
Exclusive: In a wide-ranging interview, Uefa’s president discusses the ongoing battle with City, Saudi Arabia and his Euros security fearswww.telegraph.co.uk
Is so he should push for Ceferin to resign immediately

Think of it like that bud that if they were not talking about City it would mean we were irrelevant. We have them scared them and made them desperate. Take satisfaction from that. Worst case scenario if the worst happens we start again. So what. You will have lived your dream in the meantime. As posters have said just smile like you mean it! they are still trying after all this time. For good mental health and general well being dont worry about outcomes until you have seen it declared in the open to and announced.
We’ll beat them every time, I believe it.
Did you imagine in your wildest dream that the City ride would teach you about accountancy and auditing prudence, business management and compliance, European arbitration, the judicial system and the Appeals structure, open and covert racism, Islamophobia, Islam, geography and the Middle East, and how the Western
Media Are not the objective arbiters and reporters of the truth with a desire to see and mantain truth and integrity.
Since the merger certainly City fans have had their eyes opened to a great deal more than just going to or watching City games.
If you ultimately find it a struggle get a cheap break to Abu Dhabi. If nothing else the clear waters, fine beaches and food will do a world of good and you can see who are team owners are.
The others clubs and Yank owners are petty. I see them as petty and ultimate Losers.
Wishing you good mental health mate as Frazier Krane would say! Good morning Seattle!

Hard to tell if this was a hatchet job by The Telegraph (although it's pretty damning if you're getting outwitted by Ben fucking Rumsby) or if Ceferin went into the interview with his eyes wide open. The quotes in isolation aren't that bad (he's essentially just defending UEFA's case, says he accepts the CAS decision, and won't comment on the PL case) but still think it was completely inappropriate for someone in his position to comment at all in the circumstances. The constant deluge of negative press is tiresome, but ultimately nothing has changed regarding our case. Just got to brush it off, and savour the fact that our success hurts them so much.

If someone told me, beforehand, that being public enemy number one was the price we'd have to pay for what we have witnessed over the last 15 years I'd have snatched their bloody hand off.
It's simply the trade-off and illustrates perfectly the closed shop football had become prior to our arrival on the scene.
Anyone upset by all this chatter should just imagine the agony these people must be under, every minute of every hour of every day watching the greatest team, playing the greatest football these shores have ever seen and be thankful. It isn't healthy to be consumed with this seething, all-conquering rage and it will kill them.

IMO the PL and its favoured clubs are playing the long game. And only time will tell if they are to be successful at it.
Not with the allegations. I very much believe these will go the way of the UEFA allegations and the club will be cleared.
But it is the game of perception and long term planning these people are playing. And on the surface they are playing it well. Very well.
Spread a constant stream of innuendo, doubt, narrative about ”cheating” etc. Ensure these messages are constantly - daily, even hourly - repeated by a client media all around the world, and rely on the fact that Coty are between a rock and a hard place on terms of how they can reply.
Protest innocence and the articles are already written, the broadcasts scripted and ready to be filmed :
“City come out fighting, claiming ‘it’s all an elaborate conspiracy’. They’re asking you to believe UEFA and the PL killed Kennedy as well”
“Yesterday MCFC executives issued a shrill denial of the mountain of evidence proclaiming their guilt” with an undertone of “they would say that wouldn’t they, the filthy Muslim bastards”
Say nowt (as now) and the club is damned by its own silence.
I’m not sure what the answer is to be honest. I can only hope that upon our latest exoneration (and it will only be the latest, there will be another set of claims to follow, as sure as eggs is eggs) the club do finally take some kind of action against the mountain of libellous reporting we have had to suffer through.
I can only hope the club has a plan for after we are cleared again. I very much believe they do but what that plan could be, I have no clue.

Ah bollocks man. You must be a soft banker. Us brickies can hold them up all day. Fuck them all.
The CEO of a club isn't going to start tweeting "you've got shit fans" lol, particularly one who has been part of a clubs success for 10 years. I think people are starting to get carried away. Ex players are ex players, different kettle of fish.
