🎩 vs. Crystal Palace
🎩 vs. Nottingham Forest

Insane. 🤯
Thomas Tuchel on the #ManCity case: "We had some time off between matches and it's a big subject. Everyone speaks about it, so there's no other voice needed. I'm glad to be not that voice. No one needs my half knowledge on the topic.
"Of course players talk about it. @ManCity players talk about it. We talk with them but only briefly. They're ready to go tomorrow [vs Croatia]. But of course, it's a big topic in the camp..." [via @MailSport]
Roberto Mancini on whether he is worried about being implicated in #ManCity's Premier League case: "No. I already spoke about it the other night. It's not something that concerns me. It's @ManCity's problem, unfortunately. It's not a problem that concerns me..." [via @AP]

Despite more than 700 pages of witness statements and a verdict delivered close to two years after a hearing convened in London, #ManCity will argue the Premier League case comes down to one simple question: Did the money used to fund the sponsorship deals in question come from the sponsors, the sponsors’ owners (the Abu Dhabi government), or the club’s owners?

Asahi Group statement to @PA: "We are aware of the findings published by the Premier League on September 29, 2026 and #ManCity's subsequent statement confirming its intention to appeal.
"We are continuing to monitor developments and have no further comment at this stage. Asahi Super Dry became a partner of the City Football Group which includes @ManCity in July 2022."
BREAKING: #ManCity’s ‘irrefutable evidence’ referred to throughout the Premier League case relates to government bank statements and witness statements presented at the hearing, showing money being transferred to sponsors from government accounts, which was then used by sponsors to pay @ManCity.
