Andy Burnham's Meetings With Manchester City Revealed Amid Row Over UK Prime Minister's Comments on Owners
Story updated
The story in brief
36-second readErling Haaland has backed Man City to remain focussed on the pitch ahead of an appeal against their guilty verdict. Burnham, 56, spent nine years as mayor of Greater Manchester before taking office.
He is a lifelong supporter of Everton , a club he has publicly backed through its own disputes over the Premier League's financial rules. An independent commission found Manchester City guilty on 114 of 115 charges of breaching the Premier League's financial rules between 2009/10 and 2017/18.
The club maintain their innocence and lodged a comprehensive appeal on 1 October, with the sanctions phase yet to begin. The Prime Minister then drew criticism in a BBC interview, when he said he would be "really concerned" to lose the club's Abu Dhabi owners if they were forced to sell.
