Duh. Obviously not you bloody idiot. They're hardly going to respond in a quasi-legal dispute before someone goes public with it.

Talk about an inflated sense of one's importance!

Right on cue, City have just released a statement saying pretty much exactly that!
Maybe we leaked it ;)

UEFA statement from March 7th this year:

Except when leaking stories to the press that is!

The Investigatory Chamber of the independent UEFA Club Financial Control Body has today opened a formal investigation into Manchester City FC for potential breaches of Financial Fair Play (FFP) regulations.
The investigation will focus on several alleged violations of FFP that were recently made public in various media outlets.
UEFA will make no further comments on the matter while the investigation is ongoing.

I really was trying to find the words but you nailed it. I was going with something about giving UEFA enough rope etc, etc.Duh. Obviously not you bloody idiot. They're hardly going to respond in a quasi-legal dispute before someone goes public with it.
Also, on his twitter page complaining about the abuse he's getting, there's a great comment from someone ...
"Don't piss in the swimming pool, then complain you swallowed some of the water"
Why are PSG not up for the same scrutiny? Well here you go:
"P.S.G. and UEFA have a tangled relationship. The team’s owners also run beIN Sports, the broadcaster that is UEFA’s biggest media rights buyer. Both the club and beIN Sports are run by Nasser al-Khelaifi, a Qatari national who was elected to a position on UEFA’s executive board earlier this year."
So there you have a major competitor chairman on the board of the organisation that is implementing the rules and handing out the punishments.
This is all a smear attempt in the wave of a transfer window where we will spend.

That's stupid. City isn't stupid and they don't want to give information to the guy who wrote the UEFA article.

That's what I thought too!
