The charges are all FFP violations, no? Correct me if I’m wrong, but unlike the Barça stuff, there aren’t any bribery allegations against Man City. If so, I don’t think his legacy is going to change all that much (in the prem, at least).

Half of these clubs have been operating under very sketchy circumstances for quite sometime. That’s just the prem for you. I don’t mean to mitigate this; sportswashing is lame. But I do think that a) plenty of clubs have gone all out spending too much money and not producing and b) we should be looking into the system that allowed these 115 violations to occur as opposed to deducting points and calling it a day.

I would love to sit here and tell you that Lukaku’s was worse - it was. But Ronaldo dropping that interview right before a World Cup definitely takes a medal of its own.
