Interesting one for the independent football regulator to consider......not as if the PM hasn't made his position clear
Andy Burnham has said he would be “really concerned” to lose Manchester City’s owners as a result of the club being found guilty of more than 100 breaches of Premier League rules | ✍️

At some point in the next week or so, we’re going to hear from Jose Mourinho on Man City. 🧨

Man City have a choice. Do what is right for English football, or only themselves.
At every stage they’ve used technical issues rather than evidence to drag this out.
Either show your irrefutable evidence now to clear your name, or take it on the chin.
The game needs an end
NEW: @SkyNews understands Man City CEO Ferran Soriano brought up the Premier League verdict during a private meeting of European Football Clubs' body in Copenhagen. Sources say he referenced it's taken 8 years & will take a lot more time to conclude still as they fight the case

Hard for majority of us to have a stockpile of money in the back, let alone have wads spare lying around
EXCL: Brits should have a stockpile of cash, bottled water and tinned food at home in case of attack or disaster, the Defence Secretary has warned.
Wes Streeting says Brits should be "alert but not alarmed".

Man City's recent history is tainted, and rightly so. But the same should be said for Chelsea. Their illegal payments (not breaches of PSR) were equally as severe in consequence. They escaped proper sanction for those crimes, City may not.
Both equally culpable

BBC sport now perusing “most read”
When did the Beeb become publishers?
Its mandate and licence fee was always about broadcasting

Most read means Arsenal, Man Utd and Liverpool.
It won’t mean any other football, rugby codes, cricket, women’s football, gymnastics, athletics, netball, basketball.
Does the whole country pay for that?
UPDATE: BBC Sport cutting 41 jobs (5 new roles) and will focus on "most-read" stories on website using audience data.
Will cause concern for those who believe should have broader coverage of sport.

So much better in the second half from West Ham.
Character. But that first half was nowhere near good enough

West Ham have been so so poor this first half.
Hardly found a pass, outfought, meek.
Absolute horror show.
Millwall have been first class everywhere

Millwall currently succeeding with their tactics to let West Ham defenders have the ball. Hardly found a teammate all game

One hell of a PR campaign for Lamine Lamal to win the Ballon d’Or.
He’s some player, and still so young.
Humble, on the other hand?
Didn’t see Messi or Ronaldo talking like this at his age.

Key to solving a problem caused by the process put in place to avoid a problem is to put more processes in place so that the initial processes to prevent a problem cannot cause a problem.
Modern football, eh? 🤮

I see Arsenal have got another call with the refs lined up - might as well have it as a weekly recurring Monday 9.30 in google calendar

Amazing how much louder the calls are for VAR to be scrapped when a club like United is on the arse end of a shocker.
Fair few lesser sides have had to put up with it repeatedly, and just been told to get on with it

Terrible news this morning. Ludo was a major figure around West Ham, absolutely loved by the fans.
It is with deep and profound sadness that West Ham United announces the passing of legendary former goalkeeper and coach, Luděk Mikloško.
Rest in peace Luděk, our beloved, inspirational goalkeeper and gentle giant of a man.
