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.

When Kenny Dalglish was Liverpool manager at the time of Hillsborough in April 1989, he suddenly found himself trying to help a football club and an entire city deal with something far bigger than football.

Liverpool players and staff visited hospitals, attended funerals and spent time with the families who had lost people.

Dalglish went to as many funerals as he possibly could.

And while all of that was happening, another battle was beginning.

The day after the disaster, Margaret Thatcher travelled to Hillsborough with Home Secretary Douglas Hurd.

She was shown the Leppings Lane end and met people involved in the response to what had happened.

Three days later, The Sun published its front page.

“THE TRUTH.”

It accused Liverpool supporters of stealing from victims, urinating on police officers and attacking people who were trying to help.

For Dalglish, the newspaper coverage after Hillsborough had already become almost impossible to look at.

One photograph showed two young girls crushed against the Leppings Lane fence.

Dalglish recognised them.

They were Liverpool supporters who came to Melwood every day looking for autographs, and although both of them survived Hillsborough, seeing two familiar faces trapped in the crush was enough for him.

“Nobody knows how they escaped.”

“They used to come to Melwood every day, looking for autographs.”

“After seeing that I couldn’t look at the papers again.”

Then he was made aware of what The Sun had published.

The reaction across Merseyside was immediate.

Newsagents stopped stocking it.

People burned copies.

Supporters stopped even referring to the newspaper by its name.

The Daily Star had also published allegations about Liverpool supporters, but apologised the following day.

The Sun did not.

Its editor Kelvin MacKenzie eventually phoned Dalglish.

“Kenny, we have a bit of a problem.”

“Aye.”

MacKenzie wanted to know how they could put things right.

Dalglish knew exactly what he thought they should do.

“See the headline that you put in, ‘THE TRUTH’?”

“Just have another one, as big: ‘WE LIED. SORRY.’”

MacKenzie would not do it.

“I can’t help you then.”

Dalglish put the phone down.

Only a few minutes later, another phone call came in.

This one was from the governor of Walton Prison.

The inmates had been reading the stories being published about Hillsborough and were becoming increasingly angry.

The governor wanted Dalglish to come in and speak to them.

So the next morning, he did.

He walked through the prison hearing doors closing behind him and keys rattling as he was taken towards the chapel.

The prisoners were waiting in almost complete silence.

Then they applauded him.

Dalglish had been asked to reassure them.

So he told them not to be upset by what they had read in the newspapers.

Because it was not true.

Liverpool eventually returned to play and went on to win the FA Cup.

But the argument over what had happened at Hillsborough, and what had subsequently been written about Liverpool supporters, continued for years.

The boycott of The Sun across Merseyside continued.

Dalglish never changed his position on what the newspaper needed to do.

It took another 23 years before the Hillsborough Independent Panel published its findings.

After examining more than 400,000 pages of documents, the panel found that Liverpool supporters were not responsible for the disaster and that the main cause had been a failure of police control.

It also revealed what had happened to the police accounts afterwards.

164 police statements had been significantly amended.

In 116 of them, comments unfavourable to the policing operation had been removed or changed.

The panel also traced the false allegations about Liverpool supporters that had reached the newspapers back through a Sheffield news agency to conversations involving South Yorkshire Police and Sheffield MP Irvine Patnick.

On the same day the findings were released, Kelvin MacKenzie finally apologised.

“Today I offer my profuse apologies to the people of Liverpool for that headline.”

He said he had been misled and that, knowing what he now knew, the front page should have carried a very different headline.

“The Lies rather than The Truth.”

Twenty-three years earlier, Dalglish had already told him what it should have said.

“WE LIED. SORRY.”
