Richards 'devastated' by Man City guilty verdicts
Former Manchester City defender Micah Richards felt "absolutely devastated" after reading the Premier League's "damning" verdict on the club's financial charges.
Former Manchester City defender Micah Richards expressed his devastation after reading the Premier League's guilty verdict against the club for financial irregularities. The independent commission found that City arranged sham contracts with commercial partners to disguise secret funding of over £830m, and the league confirmed the club's guilt in breaches of financial rules between the 2009-10 and 2017-18 seasons.
Richards, who was part of the title-winning squad in 2011-12, described the reports as "damning" and felt devastated, both personally and for the club and its fans.
