Manchester City Glory Can't Be Taken Away From Players, Says Kyle Walker Following Guilty Verdict
Story updated
The story in brief
33-second readMatheus Nunes has made the right-back position his own since Kyle Walker's departure from Manchester City. Manchester City were found guilty of all charges related to serious breaches of the Premier League financial rules over a nine-season period, before the club contested the verdict on the eve of its appeal deadline.
The independent commission found that City arranged ‘sham’ contracts, filed misstated accounts and inflated the club’s revenue over £900 million between 2009 and 2018. While the club’s future remains uncertain, many football fans believe City should face severe penalties if their appeal fails.
Potential sanctions include forced relegation via a large points deduction, a substantial fine, and the stripping of major titles won under Roberto Mancini, Manuel Pellegrini and Pep Guardiola.
