Referees need to be held to higher standards and need to be accountable. These mistakes are becoming far too regular.

🚨 BREAKING: Andy Burnham says he will publish details of all his meetings with Manchester City’s owners

"I think everybody should separate the investment issues because they're not the same thing"

[Francis @FTwiz12]

City’s case is worse in one key aspect: cycling teams had anti-doping rules imposed on them by external bodies (WADA/UCI). Premier League clubs explicitly voted on PSR/FFP rules themselves.

[Francis @FTwiz12]

Man City’s financial doping was driven by the exact same top-down motive. Man City didn't need EPO to win, they needed to secure world-class players in every position, and a way to hoard up and coming talent through a multi-club system. Systemic cheating is systemic cheating.

In fact, City’s case is worse in one key aspect: cycling teams had anti-doping rules imposed on them by external bodies (WADA/UCI). Premier League clubs explicitly voted on PSR/FFP rules themselves.

🚨 BREAKING: Andy Burnham says he will limit non-compete clauses in employment contracts

"Non-compete clauses will no longer be a barrier to hiring for our most promising start-ups"

[Francis @FTwiz12]

You cannot separate the issues regarding financial doping and the wider city investment. This has all been about soft power, and Andy Burnham knows that.

[BBC Sport @BBCSport]

🗣️ "I haven't downplayed the seriousness of the findings."

Andy Burnham has addressed concerns that he devalued the verdict against Man City after the club were found guilty of Premier League financial rule breaches.

Paying £408 for any festival ticket without knowing the lineup is beyond ridiculous. People have too much money.

And if you have a grievance against someone on the panel you must bring it to the attention of the committee there and then. Again, you cannot keep hold of it.

[Francis @FTwiz12]

This so called "Irrefutable evidence" would have been heard by the independent commission. It cannot be new evidence. You cannot keep hold of a smoking gun for an appeal process. That would be vexatious.

BREAKING: Manchester City have confirmed that the club have launched its comprehensive appeal against the opinion of the Premier League Commission, in relation to the Premier League disciplinary matter 🚨

🚨 NEW: The Lib Dems have called for Andy Burnham to publish all details of his meetings with Manchester City’s owners and hospitality he’s accepted at the Etihad Stadium

The British Museum should be ashamed of itself. But they won't be because they do not care about the visitor experience. I've always found it to be an awful museum.

[Dr. Ellen Walker @EllenFWalker]

Waited since I was 7 years old to see the Bayeux Tapestry. Got in an hour-long online queue to spend £50 on tickets. Got there ahead of time. Stood in a queue for 20 minutes. Then was told halfway through the queue that the gallery was closing.

The @britishmuseum stinks 😭

[Dr. Ellen Walker @EllenFWalker]

You gotta be kidding me dude

[Francis @FTwiz12]

I've always said Manchester City will get away with a light punishment due to the impact it'll have on on the city of Manchester. It's going to be devastating if that money dries up.

[Sky Sports News @SkySportsNews]

Prime Minister Andy Burnham would be "really concerned" to lose Manchester City owners as a result of club being found guilty of Premier League financial rule breaches, by an independent commission.

The club are expected to appeal the decision.

[Francis @FTwiz12]

The consequence for this part of the city will be immense, but that doesn't mean they shouldn't be punished. Burnham knew the gamble.

[Politics UK @PolitlcsUK]

Burnham: "I would be really concerned to lose [the owners of Manchester City]. They've been such a huge partner in the building of modern Manchester and obviously the building of Manchester City into the global force that it is"

[Francis @FTwiz12]

At least they aren't the biggest cheats in sporting history.
