Manchester City Scandal Ripping English Soccer!

Photo-cartoon: The UK's leading soccer club say they are innocent of charges.

After an investigation lasting a number of years, the Premier League stated that it had charged Manchester City football club with more than a hundred breaches of financial rules from 2009 to 2018.

Regarding charges that they have artificially inflated the money coming into the club, with particular respect to commercial and sponsorship deals - they plead innocence saying they seem to have ‘lost the money’.

Money, what money?

Other charges relate to City allegedly having artificially deflated the costs (try saying that after a couple) of running the club by having managers on contracts with another company connected to the owners so they only put through a small element of the real cost of managing the club through the books. On this charge the Abu Dhabi owners claim innocence since they seem to have ‘lost the managers’.

Is that you Roberto?
