Roy Keane did not mince his words after the Manchester City verdict was announced. Found guilty of 114 of the 115 breaches of the Premier League financial regulations with which it was accused, the Mancunian club attracted the wrath of the former Manchester United legend. Present on ITV ahead of the England-Spain encounter, the consultant responded directly to Rodri, who had defended his former club’s successes. “ It was high time. This has obviously been going on for a long time. I do not agree with what Rodri said on this subject. It was the club’s choice: they chose to cheat “, launched the Irishman, before calling for sanctions: “ Whatever titles they have won in recent years, they deserve to be punished. »
An opinion shared by Ian Wright, also present on the set. The former Arsenal striker particularly insisted on the consequences of these offenses for other teams in the championship. “ They may have been able to have all these memories and all these great moments together, but when you look at the teams that were chasing them and doing things right, it’s not normal “, he said. Manchester City could now face several sanctions, ranging from a withdrawal of points to a possible call into question of their titles won between 2009 and 2018. Several Premier League clubs would also consider claiming financial compensation, while the president of the Sky Blues, Khaldoon Al Mubarak, recalls that the procedure is not yet complete.
