How long is the stench of the “sham” going to corrode the meaning, worth, and very essence of the Premier League?
Listening to commentary about Manchester City’s players matching the defiance of their ownership and triumphing in adversity.
Listening to fans chorusing the names of the men running the club, wearing masks or displaying banners of their faces and jibing: “We’re Man City, we’ll cheat when we want.”
Victory being framed as “a lovely moment,” a show of togetherness as though some grave injustice has been imposed on City, rather than their hierarchy being found by an independent commission to have orchestrated financial doping on an industrial scale.
Their opponents and the rest of us wondering if any of this actually matters now and how much of it ever did?
There can be no business as usual pretence. We need a full stop to the absurdity.

Klopp didn’t hold back on Manchester City and the 115…..😭
🗣️ Jürgen Klopp: “People keep telling me to stop talking about the 115 charges. Why? Because Manchester City are successful? That is not how football works.
If there are 115 allegations, then answer them. Don’t hide behind trophies, don’t hide behind success, and don’t pretend everyone who asks questions is jealous.
I spent years competing against Manchester City. They were an incredible team, yes. But if the rules were broken, then trophies don’t suddenly make those questions disappear.
And honestly, if another club had 115 charges hanging over them, I don’t think everyone would be this quiet.”
🔥 “If you want respect for what you achieved, then have the courage to answer the questions surrounding it.”
