I'd say a sheep in sheep's clothing. I've had a couple of run in's with him too. Strange how many of us are thinking the same about him.

He's had a nasty sniff about him for a long time, just ignore.

There's no obligation, but if the intention was the help shape the narrative and help counteract some of the absurd coverage of the past few days you're not getting that with an in-house interview. If the intention was a feel good message then sure, whatever. I think we should've done the former but maybe that wasn't really the goal here. Who knows

The media will come later,it's not about changing their narrative,they wouldn't take any notice,win and we can go after some of them later

This is going to explode!

Great statement but he’s basically just called UEFA out for lies. Which we all know they are.

I can’t see them just taking it though. Get ready blues more bollox coming our way very soon.

UEFA will be panicking, they are messing with the wrong people, proper professionals who will utilise all of their considerable resources to stop these repeated accusations and insinuations.

I was shocked last Friday, became cautiously optimistic over the weekend/start of this week due to reading a lot of good stuff on here. I’m now very reassured listening to the leaders of our club, they present as calm, reliable and trustworthy.

I know who I believe in.

Bring. It. On.

Anyone in here who does not believe that there is a media agenda should fuck off to RAWK or that shite United forum.

There is irrefutable evidence that the media in this country have it in for us and have done ever since the takeover.

Any self respecting journalist would be looking at the big picture of this scenario being the political battle between UEFA and City. Instead, they only want to know the anti-City slant.

The funny thing is how anyone with half a brain cell can criticise City over that interview, call it biased and take UEFAs side. Yet on the other hand, 100% believe the UEFA investigation which was carried out by UEFA, tried by UEFA and the judgement came from UEFA who have provided NO public evidence for their judgement.

But then again people like Rob Harris and that Delaney chap are not proper journalists. They’re frauds, mouthpieces for certain clubs, pushing an agenda.

They are to journalism what Harold Shipman is to doctors, or Ryan Giggs to families.

Absolutely nailed it daz.

I would rather the club remain closed doors with respect to ‘UEFA news’. Give nothing away except the absolute bare minimum.

 

[SWP's back]

It is an active case,there is no media we can trust not to edit it or even agree to let us have 100% control,fuck what the mecia think,they are all snivelling ****s,this was for us,investors,the staff and players

That fucker would moan whatever we did.

There’s a story of Vicky Kloss a few years ago getting abuse at the bar of some conference by a senior UEFA official. The hatred runs deep.

There was also a story of her being pinned up against a wall at the swamp by GPC who was screaming abuse at her for the Welcome to Manchester poster which wasn't even her doing.

My feeling was he wanted an opportunity to talk to us, as fans. He knows he isn't going to change the media narrative.

Journo's not happy with Pep no show !!…..

As a non City supporter, I dont want you to win the CAS case (selfishly). I want that to fail and you take it up to the highest courts to get the rule scrapped and then go on to sue UEFA hopefully

I agree the need for Financial rules, but they shoyld exist to stop owners bleeding a club dry for their own profit, not pouring their own money into a club and also into a community.
