Have to agree with that. Unless they think they can see us off for good - which is highly unlikely even if we get a CL ban - they’re wasting their time. Throwing shit at City could even backfire spectacularly because I’m sure there’s plenty of skeletons in the closet of a number of clubs which could turn out to be more serious than anything we’re being accused of. With millions of leaked e-mails and the hacker in custody, this could easily come on top for those who are driving this. Just to take one example, there are plenty of rumours abound about certain referees during our 2011-12 title-winning season, one of whom suddenly retired towards the end of that campaign to go and officiate in the States, whereas another was removed from one of our matches during the run-in (West Brom at home I think). They’re playing a risky game IMO.

Absolutely this ^. We know it, UEFA know it, and we know UEFA know it. Indeed, UEFA know we know they know.

It’s why I don’t think the powers that be at City are too concerned.

Haha what do we know though? And if we do know, do they know that we know that we wouldn’t dirty another club despite them knowing that we know that they know we know.
 
So if I understand this correctly, UEFA have 10 days to review the reopened case.
Didn’t they reopen our case more than 10 days ago, so the same ruling would apply to us if they persue it?

UPDATE: they opened our case formally on 07/03/19 according to the beeb (https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/47490375)

No I don't think it says that.

It says they have to formally open the case within 10 days of deciding to, so if they decided earlier than 27th February but didn't act until 7th March then the same ruling would apply.
 
When are they going to stop flogging this dead horse,take them to court this time,no more mr nice guy
Sadly we may have a case to answer and we will be the ones in the dock. But you are right might be best to come out fighting.
