Having seen so much reaction to the City verdict over the weekend, not least from hard-of-thinking Man City fans, the verdict has been official since last Tuesday. City ARE guilty.
All and any sentiments along the lines of “let’s wait until the process is over” are ignorant.
Enriching our past.
Influencing our future.
Honouring our communities.
Throughout October, we'll mark @BHMUK by celebrating the Black players whose achievements and legacies have helped shape Manchester United ❤️
Poor - and biased - response from Andy Burnham on Manchester City being found guilty of all charges related to serious breaches of the Premier League’s financial rules by an Independent Commission.
He says “I can’t intervene *more* in the process,” which requires an explanation in itself.
Then offers commentary on previous proceedings he felt was unfair, AND states he wouldn’t want to lose the club’s owners who have “been such a huge partner in the building of modern Manchester. Obviously, the building of Manchester City into the global force that it is.”
How was that force built?
And on the investment into the city itself, per a 2022 Guardian report: “Nine sites were sold to Sheikh Mansour at a fraction of their value, and well below what other plots nearby fetched. They were on leases lasting 999 years, well beyond the norm. And the fund shifted what had been public assets to companies registered in Jersey.
“That walk along the water from New Islington into Ancoats now passes blocks of privatised land owned in an offshore tax haven, which yields millions upon millions for a key member of the wealthy elite running a surveillance state halfway across the globe. One of the greatest cities in the world has sold itself to a senior figure in a brutal autocracy – and not even for a good price.”
Crazy that City have irrefutable evidence that they are innocent but they haven’t bothered to show it before now 🤪 You don’t get found guilty of 114 charges if you have irrefutable evidence that you’re innocent. It’s mad that there are City fans who still believe these lies.
Redacted freedom of information documents show Abu Dhabi hosted UK government officials including Lord Stockwood, then investment minister, as recently as February. Khaldoon Al Mubarak, the City chairman and trusted adviser to the UAE president, was present at the meeting and investments in Manchester were discussed. More detail in news from yesterday

Another £91m loan added to #MUFC.
When the Glazers took control in 2005, United had £0 debt.
Since then their family has extracted roughly £450–£460m in dividends while the club has carried the debt.
Let's keep the consistent pressure on @Snapdragon and MUTV. #BoycottUnited
🚨 EXCLUSIVE: Manchester City found guilty on virtually all charges relating to breaches of Premier League financial regulations. #MCFC expected to appeal against verdict issued by independent commission. Sanctions undecided, process ongoing @TheAthleticFC https://t.co/Muxqp4beK9
Today we will be focusing on MUTV and #MUFC's official club merchandise as a whole.
Similar to yesterday we've explained below how you can make an impact. It takes less than 5 minutes. Cancel your MUTV subscription. Boycott club merch.
Hated. Adored. MUTV Ignored #BoycottUnited
Richard Arnold publically came out and said how the online boycotts on sponsors were hurting the club. With enough unity, we can all make an impact.
Today we're focusing on #MUFC's FOS sponsor @Snapdragon. We'll explain how you can be involved below #BoycottUnited#SaveOurUnited
🗣️WITHOUT TRUST, YOU HAVE NOTHING.
For 12 months we have worked relentlessly for a more unified fanbase across key groups and across club boundaries.
It has been beyond frustrating at times, but we keep moving forward because the bigger picture matters.
But unity does not mean abandoning your principles.
What we will NEVER tolerate is a breach of confidence or anything that compromises our integrity, individually or collectively.
We have seen private group chats screenshotted and shared before. Private conversations leaked. All for a bit of attention and a “look at me” clout chase. Not our kind of people.
You know who you are.
We make absolutely no apologies for calling it out, this has been our approach since we formed.
Its all on our timeline from day one so it should come as no surprise.
Unity requires trust.
Trust requires integrity.
And without either, you have fuck all.
Finally, for those giving constant personal abuse to people who have given their own time, energy and money for nothing in return says a lot more about you than anything else.
Carry on chatting shit with “You’ve been paid off by the Glazers” and all the other bollocks.
We are but 20 lads (19 now) who have done nothing but give 100% and a voice for fans.
Many decent honest lads are being driven away, not by the Glazers or INEOS but by our own kind.
We are not each others enemy and many seem to have lost sight of that.
The last couple of days have been a massive win for the club and the Glazers. Well done to all involved.
The fight continues (maybe)
