This imo is the work of the old elite guard. UEFA have prodded and pushed and this time I believe City have had enough.
Do we really think or do UEFA think for that matter that the people running our club don't know what they are doing. If there was any underhandedness on our part I'd hazard a guess you won't find it.
That said City are now ready to fight them hence the responses that now appear as club statements.
Personally I think if UEFA take us in they will lose and the future of UEFA will be in tatters. UEFA will know that and City will make them fully aware of that fact. What will happen is nothing other than a statement from uefa saying it has all been resolved and it is a matter between City and them.
Think back to Khaldoons end of season report from 2/3 years ago
"We will take a pinch ..."
But now enough is enough and like all City fans this is now all out war with the bent bastards from UEFA.
 
Siege mentality it is then......they hate us, they want to see HRH sickened and walk away.....

Bolton.Blackpool will go to the wall and disappear......
Our owner is respectful of our history and who we are....we have never been forced to play in red or other such nonsense....

WE are Manchester city.....WE fight till the end.
To players and staff stay tighter and fight harder.....your achievements ARE reshaping football

Just as the suffragette movement in Manchester reshaped politics....
Time for that 10 year contract PEP....signed and announced tomorrow.

Oh and Leroy......you are one of us...sign.
I LOVE this club.....ban us. Fine us.....but NEVER EVER defeat us........
 
I literally posted
NY Times used to own 10% of Liverpool
NY Times have a partnership with the Fenway group
Parry ex CEO of Liverpool and member of the investigating panel
NY Times have a source on the investigating panel
Join the dots...

Are you talking about the Rory Smith who wrote this piece in the NY times yesterday about City and the potential impact on European soccer?

City's strongly worded statement will at least prevent the Premier League from taking action for a year or so as they know the process will be ongoing.
Also think Talkshire has had is collar felt by City's legal department, they couldn't wait to get that knob head reporter on yesterday to go off with out
Goalpost moving won't wash with CAS or a court.

I think the 'confident' line is probably an accurate opinion.
I think the 'concerns on process' line is partly accurate, partly PR to imply dubious UEFA process, and partly an opaque warning to UEFA about keeping things straight.
Also Talkshite have not mentioned it yesterday after their gobshite jurno slandered himself big style yesterday, obviously City's legal department may have been in touch with this self promoting back water radio station!
 
Leterme is clearly a failure in everything he takes on, apart from goat farming it would seem. He looks like the Belgians version of Theresa May, a buffoon of some substance.

I doubt this new project will lead to anything else other than failure.
 
That statement was certainly written with the input of lawyers - it’s legally expedient the way it undermines the credibility of the UEFA process. It’s virtually impossible to sanction us now and make it stick. Even if we were guilty and I’m not sure we are they have technically undermined any process by briefing out or leaking. The complete lack of any objectivity is obvious and the legal advice to UEFA will now be pretty stark. They are probably stuck between a rock and a hard place- with the old guard demanding action and they being unable to deliver it without putting their whole future on the line. I’ll wager that Parry will resign his position in the next few weeks !

There are style and content points in that statement that would tell me it was written by lawyers with the input of club comms.

Club comms will most certainly be involved but the statements are now being produced by someone who didn’t previously.
