Well said Ceferin

Of course, Cerefin has always been ok with us City but there’s still plenty of rats behind the scenes at UEFA. Just goes to show the people running our club are very smart. They never went to war with UEFA back in 2014 after the FFP breach settlement as they knew in the long run it’s best if we kept our heads down. Khaldoon and Soriano will have plenty of allies within UEFA now. Cerefin coming out with statements like this reassures my belief that the club have always done the right thing to not have gone out all guns blazing against them.

If the club were in the hands of City fans, Platini and UEFA officials would have had winston churchill bronze statues and indoor swimming pool salesman’s at his door.
I await the tabloids reaction with interest. ;)
 
The head of French football has given it the fat slug as well....good read and says it how it is....
 
The president of Ligue 1 says attacks by La Liga over Kylian Mbappe's new Paris St-Germain deal are "unacceptable".

France striker Mbappe, 23, signed a lucrative three-year extension on Saturday, having been strongly linked with a free transfer to Real Madrid.
La Liga called PSG's reported contract offer "scandalous", but Ligue 1 president Vincent Labrune has responded angrily. He said: "Over the past 10 years, La Liga has spent 32% more on players than Ligue 1."

PSG are owned by Qatar Sports Investments, a subsidiary of Qatar Investment Authority (QIA), the state-run sovereign-wealth fund in Qatar.

With Mbappe's contract running out in June, they were desperate to keep him and prepared to offer a £21m net annual salary.

La Liga announced plans to file a complaint to Uefa as well as French and EU authorities after president Javier Tebas described the deal as an "insult to football".

But in a letter to Tebas, Labrune vented the French football governing body's "disapproval and incomprehension" at the outbursts.

"Your attacks on Ligue 1 and one of our clubs Paris St-Germain, and one of our players Kylian Mbappe, are based around your own interpretation of financial unsustainability and competitive imbalance, which you repeatedly attribute to Ligue 1 and one of our clubs," he wrote.

"The fact that you publicly and repeatedly take this position against Ligue 1 on this topic and denigrate our league and our clubs is both unacceptable and manifestly false.

"Two of your clubs, Real Madrid and Barcelona, have broken a multitude of records in the past decade.

"In terms of transfer fees, these two clubs have broken the world record six times. In terms of player salaries, Real Madrid currently has two of the highest-paid players in world football sat on their bench.

"In terms of debt, Barcelona is reported to have a debt level of €1.5bn, and this is despite the European Court of Justice finding that Real Madrid and Barcelona benefitted from illegal state aid."
