Thank you Alex. I never knew you were a good man. But, I must tell you. When you retired Sir Alex. All your supporters in Uganda started supporting City. City are no longer busy neighbors. They are a necessary evil against Arsenal.
🚨💣 BREAKING: Sir Alex Ferguson speaks on Manchester City guilty of 114 of their 115 Premier League FFP charges:
🗣️Sir Alex:
“I called them the noisy neighbours, didn’t I? There was always something about the way it was all being built that didn’t sit right with me. Now we’re hearing 114 guilty findings out of 115 charges. If those findings stand, that’s an embarrassment for English football and for the Premier League.”
“When the Abu Dhabi takeover happened in 2008, my concern was what that amount of money, without proper scrutiny, could do to the competition. Investment is one thing. Allowing a club to believe it’s above the rules is another. The authorities have a responsibility to make sure ambition never becomes an excuse for corruption.”
“If City cheated their way to the top, they must face the consequences. Proper consequences. You cannot let a club benefit from breaking the rules and then treat the punishment as another expense it can comfortably afford. That makes a mockery of every club trying to compete honestly.”
“I’ve spent my life in football. I’ve seen what this game means to people. Supporters work all week and spend their money believing they’re watching a fair contest. They deserve that honesty. We cannot allow corruption to ruin the beautiful game. No amount of money, no collection of trophies, puts Manchester City or anybody else above it….”
