Their statement said: Manchester City FC is fully cooperating in good faith with the CFCB ICs (Uefas Club Financial Control Body Investigatory Chamber) ongoing investigation.In doing so the club is reliant on both the CFCB ICs independence and commitment to due process; and on Uefas commitment of the 7th of March that it will make no further comment on the matter while the investigation is ongoing.
