In Manchester, people say City scandal is ‘shame for football’

In Manchester, reactions to Manchester City's financial scandal have been largely negative, with many people expressing shock and disappointment. An independent commission found the club inflated revenue and reduced costs by over £900 million between 2009 and 2018 through sham commercial contracts. Manchester City won the Premier League title three times and won one FA Cup and three League Cups during that period.

Fans have called for the club to be relegated from the Premier League, though some believe relegation may be too harsh and a fine is more likely. Former Manchester United captain Roy Keane said he would throw away his medals if he were a City player, indicating how disgusted he is by the club's actions.
