Exactly. Maintain a dignified silence and deal with any concerns confidentially. The key part of Ceferin's interview is when he says: “I don’t want to speak about the case in England. But I trust that the decision of our independent body was correct. I didn’t enter into this decision.” To my mind, that merely says that he wasn't involved but backs his people. This is not extraordinary.Sorry but that’s the last thing we need. City know what needs to be done and quite rightly do not get distracted from winning. It’s not what City say that matters it’s what they do.
Our guys are well above public arguments and so they should be.
You must realise that our rivals are dying for City to comment so that the noise is escalated.
Say nothing, give them nothing, keep winning.
UEFA and the PL could literally exclude us from the very competitions the fans turn up to see. The priority is absolutely keeping the club in the competitions it needs to survive rather than looking after fans first world problems.Which is fair. Yet it jeopardises City's relationship with its own fans, IMO.
As fans, I think we have a right to create a stink about that. There are people being paid vast sums of money to spin both these plates and keep us happy.
I reckon it's to do with the telegraph takeover too.One of the papers stated last week that we could expect to hear something on city's case early this week. I can’t remember if it was the torygraph or grundian (other papers are available). I wonder if the interview with Ceferin and his view that they (UEFA) were right, obviously designed to prejudice current proceedings and / or the proposed Sheikh torygraph takeover is it?
Of course there could be an announcement today or tomorrow (ahead of the Spurs game) so this post may not age too well
a good thread. just reiterates what a c*nt that cerefin rat really is:
That’s the point exactly. In his position, given the extreme sensitivities, he should not have given the interview or at very least make it clear from the outset he wasn’t going to discuss City at all.he could and should not have said anything in the grand scheme of things but thats a failure on him to even take the interview, i actually think in the grand scheme of things this is going to go much deeper than an independent commission as the pl have got themselves into a battle they know they effectively cant win and are trying every single they can to extricate themselves from it.
That, in his position, he should comment at all is extraordinary and can only be aimed at damaging us.Exactly. Maintain a dignified silence and deal with any concerns confidentially.
