PM Burnham says he would be very concerned if Man City owners sold club
Andy Burnham praises the Abu Dhabi ownership group led by Sheikh Mansour for its investment in Manchester since taking over the club in 2008.
Prime Minister Andy Burnham expressed concern over the potential sale of Manchester City if Abu Dhabi owners were found guilty of serious financial rule breaches. The Premier League revealed the club inflated revenue and understated costs by over £900 million ($1.2 billion) over a decade using fraudulent commercial contracts. Burnham, a former mayor of Greater Manchester, praised the ownership group for their investment in the city, but acknowledged the club's unfair treatment compared to Everton, who received a substantial points deduction for financial rule violations.
