After over two years of waiting, we finally have a verdict on the 115 charges Manchester City faced over alleged financial breaches. The verdict? Guilty on 114 counts.
Discussion online has erupted over what could be the biggest cheating scandal by a club in football history, which also saw Man City win more than 25 trophies since the new ownership took over in 2008. With Piers Morgan calling for relegation and a suspended points deduction to stop them bouncing back, and Simon Jordan suggesting an alternative punishment that wouldn’t negatively impact the league, what should their punishment be?
Joining Piers and Simon on Football Uncensored to discuss the case are the Daily Mail’s Chief Sports Writer Oliver Holt, British football broadcaster Kieran Maguire, and Man City fan and online creator Steven McInerney.
And finally, to react to the Ireland vs Israel match, the protests by Irish players against the country alleged to be committing genocide in Gaza, and all the discourse that followed the match, is former Irish footballer Eamon Dunphy.
