🤔 What would English football look like had Man City not cheated?

🐇 Come with me down the rabbit hole to see the new statue outside Anfield.

😱 (Spoiler: it’s not of Jurgen Klopp!)

@ChrisWh52448984 @OllieHolt22 @sportingintel @MailSport Just reporting the facts in the face of abuse and deceit. Another faceless tweet. Care to tell exactly us who you are ‘Chris’?

[Ian Herbert @ianherbs]

The latest of many superb pieces @sportingintel has written for the Mail on Sunday and @MailSport over years. The challenges that come with questioning Manchester City

[Nick Harris @sportingintel]

The human cost of reporting on Man City’s cheating for 15 years. It’s on the Mail website today and will be in the MoS paper tomorrow (Sunday) but they backed my reporting 100%. That reporting continues on my Substack. Google it for details. https://t.co/R9XjGTDtb8

Glorious afternoon at Buxton, the highest football ground in England, with @germanocean for the FA Cup third qualifying round. @Buxton_FC 0 @SouthShieldsFC 2. Shields are a real force with the 1st Round Proper almost in sight. #facup

“My owner, my chairman.”

My word.

Pep Guardiola, one of football’s greatest minds, has recast himself as a trusting submissive in this legacy-threatening scandal.

And so it begins. Etihad Airways. Owned by an Abu Dhabi sovereign wealth fund chaired by Sheikh Mansour’s brother

[Rob Harris @RobHarris]

BREAKING: Man City main sponsor Etihad says “deeply concerned” over PL announcement which has “created damaging implications for Etihad despite the airline not being named in the published decision. The PL must take responsibility for the consequences” - potential legal action

[Ian Herbert @ianherbs]

Surprising comments from Andy Burnham on Manchester City tonight - suggesting Everton’s points deduction was ‘similar’ and heaping praise on Abu Dhabi.

Utterly fearless, as @RobHarris has been throughout this process. Brilliant reporting throughout

[Sky News @SkyNews]

"Do you apologise to football fans? The Premier League says 'sham' contracts, is this a 'sham' club?"

@RobHarris questions Man City chief executive Ferran Soriano after the club was found guilty of all charges related to Premier League's financial rules

[Ian Herbert @ianherbs]

Manchester City and their Fordham Sports Image Rights sham: denials, abuse, legal threats and finally a sense of vindication. https://t.co/Nj4P33dUAl

[Rob Harris @RobHarris]

Asked Man City CEO Ferran Soriano about the PL verdict confirming their guilt

[Miguel Delaney @MiguelDelaney]

The one charge that City got off was 4(b) which is one of the minor co-operation ones.

[Ian Herbert @ianherbs]

The word ''sham' features five times in the Premier League's damning and unequivocal statement

[Ian Herbert @ianherbs]

When I wrote about this image rights sham for The Independent in 2018, Manchester City threatened to sue us and demanded I tweet out a personal apology on here. We fought them. They did not sue us.
City's sham is confirmed by the Premier League today https://t.co/Fzemh3f8CA

[Ian Herbert @ianherbs]

Premier League putting it very plainly indeed.
Manchester City 'arranged "sham" contracts, misstated accounts and concealed the true state of its finances.'

Man City knew of 115 guilty verdict in summer, by @RobDawsonESPN

https://t.co/60cG6fIray

[Mike Keegan @MikeKeegan_DM]

🚨Manchester City chief executive Ferran Soriano has told a meeting of European club chiefs that a conclusion to the 115 'is going to take a lot more time'. According to sources, Soriano asked to take the floor at the summit around an hour ago before delivering a short statement.

[Oliver Holt @OllieHolt22]

First of many lessons to be learned from the Manchester City 115 farrago - nation states should be barred from owning our football clubs https://t.co/UGdmiOWpMp
