He talks about the lower leagues like a threat, never like a cause. Not good for English football.
🚨🎙️ Jamie Carragher on Manchester City being found guilty of 114 Premier League financial charges:
🗣️ Jamie Carragher: “Listen, if Manchester City actually get relegated over these charges, it’ll completely rock English football to its core!
“You’re talking about a side that’s been dominating, winning titles, and boasting the biggest squad with the biggest money. Now imagine waking up to find they’re preparing for a trip to Plymouth on a rainy Tuesday night. Absolute madness!
“Forget the football for a second—I want to see what happens when the pressure hits. It’s easy to sign players, win trophies, and celebrate at the Etihad when everything is going well. But if you’re dropped down a division, who’s actually staying? Who’s rolling up their sleeves and saying, ’I’m staying to get this club back where it belongs’? That’s where you find out who’s real.
“If they’ve broken the rules, there are no excuses. No special treatment. If relegation is the final verdict, they have to take it on the chin like anyone else.
“Imagine that first Championship away match—a squad full of European champions stepping out, and the home crowd singing, ‘You’re not in the Premier League anymore!’ That would be absolute cinema.”
