Time someone at City did something. We seem to be happy getting bent over. The only thing I can think is that team the City legal team are building a water tight case against wafa and the media behind closed doors.

Club statement:

Manchester City is disappointed but not surprised by today’s announcement by the UEFA Adjudicatory Chamber. The Club has always anticipated the ultimate need to seek out an independent body and process to impartiality consider the comprehensive body of irrefutable evidence in support of its position.

In December 2018, the UEFA Chief Investigator publicly previewed the outcome and sanction he intended to be delivered to Manchester City, before any investigation had even begun. The subsequent flawed and consistently leaked UEFA process he oversaw has meant that there was little doubt in the result that he would deliver. The Club has formally complained to the UEFA Disciplinary body, a complaint which was validated by a CAS ruling.

Simply put, this is a case initiated by UEFA, prosecuted by UEFA and judged by UEFA. With this prejudicial process now over, the Club will pursue an impartial judgment as quickly as possible and will therefore, in the first instance, commence proceedings with the Court of Arbitration for Sport at the earliest opportunity.

That is a strong statement.

Watch out for two things;

1) Pep more likely to go in the Summer
2) Some very dodgy ref decisions against Madrid. They will not want us progressing in the comp this year.

3) a breakaway league from the Chumps League is made sooner than later.

We had little chance before. But now...

They hope that putting this statement out now might mean our lads don’t give 100% in the tie as they might think why bother.

Hope it spurs us on to ram it down their throats

Wonder how much influence Gill had. The team finishing fifth now gets CL place for next two years. A back door way in for the rags now?

Imagine if we win it. They would look like they were chewing wasps when handing the trophy over.

I’d imagine a few skeletons come out the closest within UEFA. Going to be bigger than Phil coming out as gay!
