Business as usual for Manchester City. Quite what the nature of that business is exactly remains to be determined; in the face of continuous Financial Fair Play allegations the club are sticking by their insistence that they will not comment on "out of context materials" that are an "organised and clear" "attempt to damage the Club’s reputation."
Pep Guardiola stressed on Tuesday, in the wake of a third round of claims by the Football Leaks group, that City "want to follow the rules of UEFA, FIFA and the Premier League".
The Catalan was keen to shift the attention back to his side's work on the pitch, however, and with a resounding 6-0 victory over Shakhtar Donetsk on Wednesday night, one that puts them on the verge of the Champions League last 16, it is the football that will be the main focus once again, for the short term anyway.
