Burnham 'really concerned' if Man City owners sell up
There we go. The former Mayor of Manchester, who was very cosy with the owners of Manchester City who have been found guilty of the biggest cheating scandal in British football, would be "really concerned" if they sold the club www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
Lee Hurley62The new football regulator has the power to force the sale of a club and this is as clear a case as you will ever see of that being required but this gives me no faith they will be allowed to be independent.
Some Rando in Mexico7The UK PM has been compromised by Abu Dhabi. The Premier League may be unwatchable until a decision (a just one) is reached. The UAE has basically decided to burn down English football since they've been caught cheating. "Let us off or else" seems to be their approach.
Ben6Read the room buddy. Your new PM bounce will disappear pretty quickly if it looks like you're going to lean on this outcome in any way.
Yossi Gol ⚽️5It's all corrupt to the core.
P. Thomas Johnson 🇨🇦🇬🇧 🤝 🇺🇦4Seems like a pretty big conflict of interest for a Prime Minister to take sides in this, too.
Goonraeg3Lost my vote if he supports the City owners
Neil Atkinson51Burnham being a gobshite on this is not a shock. He has laid his groundwork with Everton. He didn't need to use his groundwork but he can't help himself. The PM should remain neutral at all costs. He is suggesting he may well already have tried to intervene. This and Everton have little in common.
WillieMillersMoustache21I'd fucking love it if Norf Andy and his pet kestrel came crashing the fuck down because his filthy mitts are all over this.
Euan17Keir Starmer levels of finding the least popular position possible
Philarsopher16Those quotes from Burnham are reprehensible.
Paul Fox2"I remember people proclaiming Everton guilty at the time and with hindsight I think more people would say that wasn't fair, the way that was handled" We co-operated but WERE guilty of incompetence, yet suffered 2 pts deductions in 1 season & made to pay Burnley £32m. City should be shut down.
Shadow Hedgie 🌻2real Manchesterism has never been tried
🎟️ Mayamiko2finally, a prime minister that looks out for the little club ❤️😭😭😭
If I was City I’d just sell the club to someone else who can then claim no wrongdoing. #Chelsea www.bbc.co.uk/sport/footba...
David King2They could try just changing the name slightly and claim the previous company had nothing to do with them like some cowboy roofing mob.
wyndonweewee.bsky.social2They have the same colours as Reform. Just saying.
Merry Christmas, as in the other place.2So, get away with it you mean?West Brom Leicester City Sheffield Wednesday Sheffield United Everton Nottingham Forest Reading Wigan Athletic Derby County Macclesfield Town These clubs did not.
Just read the Premier League statement on the man city findings and my mind went straight to Pep Guardiola. He fucking knew when to jump ship didnt he! What's worse is #NUFC have followed the rules to the LETTER, forced to sell our best players etc. The time taken for a verdict is also ridiculous
Len E2I agree for the most part but the time taken for a verdict was always going to take a long time. It had to be thorough and watertight, which couldn't be done quickly.
Loki2What is really fucking ridiculous is Man City are effectively being punished because they had an owner who invested a huge amount of money because there are rules that prevent that. While at the same time under Mike Ashley we were seen as perfectly fine - make it make sense man
