• Uefa investigatory body members feel City have case to answer
Manchester City say they have provided “comprehensive proof” of their innocence to the Uefa body investigating allegations of financial fair play irregularities, and the club is expected to contest a referral to Uefa’s disciplinary process.
A strong view that City should be referred for a full hearing of the issues, with a possible Champions League ban if the allegations are proven, is thought to have been expressed by members of Uefa’s Club Financial Control Body (CFCB) “investigatory chamber (IC).” The chairman and chief investigatory, Yves Leterme, the former prime minister of Belgium, is currently considering whether he agrees with that view, that City do have a case to answer.
