"Knowing other clubs are sitting shredding things as we speak." The Journos on Manchester City being found guilty on 114 of the 115 Premier League charges: why the appeal will be dealt with this season, why the verdict was "an act of self-harm" the Premier League still had to make, financial doping and Boris Johnson waving through Newcastle's Saudi takeover, and why a 500 million pound fine is "loose change" to City.

Yeah, but the problem getting them out is do they does the does the if they Yeah, they can get them out with the 60. Yeah. Okay. Yeah, I could think that's a viable alternative. It doesn't matter that they're going to appeal because quite simply right now the English Premier League which has been open to criticism and how they've allowed Manchester City to absolutely boot this down the park, you know, when everybody could see, you know, training ground suddenly with the biggest sponsorship deal you've ever seen in your life.
You know basically they can appeal but the Premier League now with 114 out of the 115 charges have said you can appeal but this is going to be dealt with quickly this season this season is when this determination so I don't see Man City getting away with let's prolong this again. No. And the genie is out the bottle and the problem is you have got options multi-million pound legal bills to get to the stage we are now. Premier League have I mean it's an act of self harm to create to give this verdict but it was one that integrity demanded. Financial doping in English football has always fascinated me and I've always thought people just accept and cheer on the winning team.
And at some point, just regardless of the reality behind it, well, that supporters are like that, Gordon. So, Boris Johnson waved through Newcastle's takeover. The Saudi money coming in and I realized that when he did that again, it's all about the buck, right? This is the first time actually that they've actually I mean to take on the giant the monster and it's could be the ruination of the Premier League to a degree because if they have set that precedent knowing other clubs are sitting shredding things as we speak where does it end allegedly. Allegedly where does it end?
Where's the entry compensation for your Stoke Citys, your other teams, your Burnleys? Well, listen, 500 million pounds that they're talking about at the moment is a drop in the ocean to Manchester City. They that's loose change. So, I don't think that does anything. I don't think I financial penalty is not on matter.
