🚨 José Mourinho on Manchester City verdict: “I’d rather have a bit of a laugh about it…”.

“Being in my 60s, I’ll have to be lucky enough still to be here when the final verdict arrives”.

“Now a ruling will come, then an appeal… I’ll be 80!”, Mourinho told @CorSport.

⚖️ If City Escape With a Slap on the Wrist, What Was the Point?

I’ve said for a long time that I feared Man City’s financial might, legal firepower and the wider relationship between the UAE and UK would eventually prove too powerful for football’s regulators.

I’m no longer so sure.

The findings are simply too serious. Nine years of wrongdoing, a “disguised funding scheme”, around £930m involved, “sham” arrangements and findings that individuals acted dishonestly or other than in good faith.

The #PremierLeague has already dragged its own reputation through the mud by allowing this saga to define an era of English football. Now comes the moment that decides whether its rules ever really meant anything.

No technical escape can make the underlying findings disappear. No fine that disappears into the accounts of one of the wealthiest ownership groups in sport will suffice. No token points deduction followed by business as usual will restore confidence.

If the findings survive City's appeal, the punishment has to hurt.
And this now goes beyond Manchester City Football Club.

The new Independent Football Regulator has the power to assess the suitability of owners, directors and executives. If the findings survive the remaining process, it could therefore face profound questions about whether individuals involved should continue to hold positions within English football.

That matters.

Football spent years demanding an independent regulator because we were repeatedly told the game couldn't govern itself.

Well, here is the test.

The biggest one imaginable.

City have every right to appeal. Let that process run properly.
But if these findings ultimately stand and English football responds with a slap on the wrist, we will have learned something devastating.

The deepest pockets really do win.

And the rules were only ever rules for everyone else.

Seeing as there are people who are still defending them:

Revenue in 2007/08 - before Abu Dhabi:

United - £256.2m
Arsenal - £207.3m
Liverpool - £159.1m
City - £82.3m

Revenue in 2017/18 - the final season covered by the breaches:

United - £590.0m
City - £500.5m
Liverpool - £455.1m
Arsenal - £385.9m

Revenue growth:

City +508%
Liverpool +186%
United +130%
Arsenal +86%

So City’s revenue growth was THREE TIMES Liverpool’s, nearly FOUR TIMES United’s and nearly SIX TIMES Arsenal’s.

”Because they won everything”, no they didn’t.
At the time they weren’t more succesful than the clubs mentioned.

United matched City’s haul of major domestic trophies from 2008/09 onwards and Arsenal won more FA Cups (3vs1)

United reached three CL finals, winning one of them.
Liverpool reached the 2018 final, Arsenal reached a semi-final.

City?

No CL finals.
ONE CL semi-final, in 2015/16.

And by 2017/18 their matchday revenue was still COMFORTABLY the lowest of the four:

United - £109.8m
Arsenal - £99m
Liverpool - £81m
City - £56.7m

Yet we’re supposed to believe that City’s total revenue exploded from £82.3m to £500.5m, surpassing both Arsenal and Liverpoo, who had built their status as top clubs for decades, was completely normal and organic?

Laughable.

On Wednesday, just hours after the verdict officially confirming Manchester City’s guilt, the Commission responsible for Portugal's witness protection programme informed me of its decision to terminate my participation in the programme and withdraw my police protection, thereby knowingly placing me in a life-threatening situation.

Given these circumstances, I have no alternative but to relocate, within the next few days, to an undisclosed location for an indefinite period of time, due to the multiple death threats I have received and the serious risk of an assassination attempt against me.

For this reason, I have just set up a GoFundMe campaign and I am asking for everyone's support to help me survive this serious situation created by the Portuguese State, which, as I have already stated, has knowingly decided to place my life at risk.

I would like to take this opportunity to extend a special thanks to everyone who continues to support Football Leaks, and I can give everyone one guarantee: the fight will most certainly continue!

**EXCLUSIVE**

Manchester City chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak met a senior UK government minister to discuss the UAE’s investments in Britain just days before the club’s guilty verdicts were announced.

Al Mubarak asked to meet Business Secretary Jonathan Reynolds on 14 September in his capacity as CEO of Mubadala Investment Company, the Abu Dhabi sovereign wealth fund, sources tell Bloomberg.

The pair held a private meeting in Downing Street on that date, the people said. Al Mubarak talked about current and future UAE investment in Britain, they said.

The conversation covered the full range of the relationship including defence, security, intelligence and trade, they said.

Eleven days later, on 25 September, the Athletic reported Man City had been found guilty of breaking Premier League rules.

On 29 September, the Premier League confirmed Manchester City had been found guilty of artificially boosting its balance sheet by more than £900 million.

The fact of the meeting so close to the verdict will raise further questions about the UK government’s handling of the case.

Andy Burnham has faced criticism, including from his own ministers and officials, after he publicly suggested Man City’s Abu Dhabi owners should not be disqualified from running the club because of the investment they bring to Britain.

Earlier, Bloomberg reported that Emirati officials have warned the UK government that the severity of the ruling could undermine their appetite for future grand-scale commitments in Britain.

The press release from my lawyers Francisco Teixeira da Mota, Luisa Teixeira da Mota, William Bourdon and Vincent Brengarth regarding the outrageous actions taken against me by the Portuguese State on Wednesday:

PRESS RELEASE

Lisbon and Paris, October 2, 2026

End of Rui Pinto’s protection: his lawyers call on Portuguese authorities to reconsider a decision with dire consequences

Rui Pinto, the whistleblower behind "Football Leaks," has been notified on Wednesday that the special security program he has benefited from since August 2020 will end on October 10. In a few days, without being heard beforehand, as required by law, he would lose the protected, confidential residence assigned to him and l be forced to find new housing urgently, with no guarantee that police protection will continue.

His situation is now critical. The threats against him are not merely theoretical; he was assaulted in Lisbon last April. His revelations implicated powerful figures with vast resources, and many resulting legal proceedings are still ongoing, as evidenced by the decision handed down just days ago by the Premier League’s independent commission regarding Manchester City. Abruptly deprived of his protected housing and plunged into a state of extreme precariousness, Rui Pinto would be more vulnerable now than at any time since 2020.

Rui Pinto has cooperated with the Portuguese justice system, and it was this cooperation that justified placing him under protection. His revelations, utilized by numerous judicial, tax, and sports authorities across Europe, starting with France, have advanced transparency and integrity in football. The states that have benefited from his actions cannot simply turn their backs on the person who took the risk to bring them to light.

In accordance with the law, an administrative appeal with suspensive effect will be filed against this decision. Rui Pinto’s lawyers, confident that the Portuguese authorities would give due consideration to his situation, asked, last Wednesday, the ministry of Justice to reconsider this decision, to disclose the details of the risk reassessment upon which it is based, to ensure that their client is heard, and to guarantee, in any event, the continuity of his protection. No answer was received till now.

This decision and the way it was made, regrettably, doesn’t respect the rule of law and constitutes an act of state terrorism. We can’t accept that.
