David Gill would dispute this, being a Vice President AND Treasurer of the organisation. and is on a host of other committees. Similarly Rick Parry was (formerly) a member of the Club Financial Investigatory Chamber. Whether he was a member of the panel directly looking at City's case is unclear, but that case (and verdict) is noted primarily for it's leaks to the NYT, which has close connections to the Fenway Sports Group.Difficult to know exactly what happened and I suspect we will never find out. I thought City had challenged Arsenal on this and they denied they were the instigators? I still believe that the top English clubs at the end of the day have relatively little influence with UEFA - Real, Barca and Bayern call the shots.
It's obviously a pure coincidence that the two aforementioned play/ed a significant role in the affairs of our two biggest "rivals", and are/were in a strong position within UEFA to help hinder our continued future progress.
