"The most important thing is the integrity of the league because as soon as the fans can’t trust it, they won’t watch it anymore"
Oliver Glasner has called for the Manchester City case to be concluded quickly to prevent supporters turning off | @CharDuncker@mhardysport https://t.co/hkHCh0BZhi
🚨⚠️ Sunderland manager Regis Le Bris on Manchester City process: “The relevant authorities have to be relentless…
…otherwise you lose the value of your competition”, told The Times.
These people actually exist, btw.
13 of the 19 Premier League clubs voted in favour of implementing FFP. His own club voted to agree to those very same rules.
Now he’s farming engagement, chasing clicks and polluting the online world with absolute nonsense.
The irony!
@David_Ornstein@TheAthleticFC Why would anyone buy a club when it’s impossible to invest money into building a squad that can compete for trophies unless you’re a red cartel club.
"Get lost! How dare you ruin what's part of our country, our DNA in this country."
Ian Holloway had some very strong words when asked about the Man City charges.

NEW: Manchester City chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak was given freedom of the city of London in 2021.
City of London Corporation says it was bestowed “in recognition of the close trading relationship” and his “leadership role” at UAE sovereign wealth fund

@ManCityCouncil@ManCity@jackdulhanty We've just published the inside story of the city's relationship with Abu Dhabi. Including a senior council official saying: "You don’t criticise the council’s relationship with the football club in this organisation and hope to survive."

🚨NEW: It's been revealed that Andy Burnham's "No 10 North" is set to be built on the exact Ancoats site that Manchester City's Abu Dhabi owners spent a decade holding first refusal over
[@theipaper]
Turns out Number 10 North (where loads of Labour MPs have been posing with a shiny plastic version of the original building’s door, and a cardboard cat) wasn’t about devolution, it’s just a sweetener for ‘Manchester City’ council and their ‘associates’…
🚨NEW: The Manchester Mill outlet has obtained notes from 2018 showing a senior official at Labour-run Manchester council warned staff:
"You don't criticise the council's relationship with the football club [Man City] in this organisation and hope to survive"

🚨NEW: It has emerged that Labour's Manchester council chief, Sir Howard Bernstein, who signed the 2015 "first refusal" land deal with Man City owners ADUG, was later given the role of Man City's strategic adviser after leaving the council

Abu Dhabi Andy has got some explaining to do.
Of all the potential locations, Andy Burnham chose to construct his new No 10 North at a site where Manchester City's UAE owners reportedly had a decade long right of first refusal.
The relationship between Burnham, Manchester and UAE is becoming increasingly interesting.
All Andy Burnham had to say when questioned about the Manchester City court case was, “I am not going to comment on active cases.”
Instead, he's opened an enormous can of worms with his remarks about potentially losing investment and his inability to “intervene more” in the process.
He's now raised serious questions about his priorities and the extent of his involvement in what could be the biggest sporting scandal in British history.
A huge error of judgement by the Prime Minister, and one that could come back to haunt him.
