UK Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy Addresses Manchester City Verdict and Regulator Powers
Story updated
The story in brief
28-second readHow have Man City fans reacted to the guilty verdict? The ever-developing fallout from Manchester City’s ongoing legal tussle with the Premier League has increasingly called into question the prospect of British government interference.
With an independent commission having found the club guilty of breaching financial rules - a decision the Etihad Stadium's hierarchy are actively appealing with a body of "irrefutable evidence" - political commentary surrounding the case has become commonplace.
Concerns intensified after British Prime Minister Andy Burnham voiced his concern over the possibility of Manchester City’s Abu Dhabi owners departing, reportedly leading rival top-flight clubs to fear political sway.
