February 07 News According to the latest report from the famous reporter James Ducker of the Daily Telegraph, the senior management of a top club
Guan told the Telegraph that they are “desperate” to see the outcome of City’s penalty before the end of the season.
And a Premier League club outside the traditional Big6 said they would be very happy to see the allegations against Manchester City.
Regarding the possibility of Manchester City being expelled from the league, the executive said: “It’s not something we would lobby for, but if they were guilty, we would certainly not oppose it.”
Senior City sources told the Telegraph they believe the timing of the Premier League’s announcement is no coincidence with the government’s imminent release of the long-awaited football governance white paper.
Club insiders believe this is part of a Premier League strategy to demonstrate they are capable of adequate governance amid calls for an independent football regulator.
“The Premier League officials are playing tactical coordination.” A source said.
Kieran Maguire, a lecturer in football finance at Liverpool University, also questioned the timing of the Premier League’s announcement, saying there was a clear political advantage to doing so.
The Telegraph finally revealed a detail. Manchester City was quite disturbed when they were officially informed of the charges, because they believed that some media had learned the news and details in advance of the team officials.
