Manchester City director of football Brian Marwood has reportedly written to referees' chief Mike Riley seeking clarity over recent decisions to which the team has been subjected.
The letter is thought to have been written following the Eastlands club's 2-2 draw with Liverpool in the League Cup, which saw them eliminated from the competition.
Earlier this month City defender Vincent Kompany controversially saw red in the FA Cup third round clash against Manchester United, which also ended with Roberto Mancini's men exiting the tournament.
And Mario Balotelli was recently handed a four-match suspension for his role in the stamping incident involving Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Scott Parker.
Now The Sunday Times reports that Marwood has written to Riley concerning refereeing, with the club regarding the decisions as inconsistent.
