Cruz Azul II Overview

Sir Alex Ferguson has lifted the lid on a missed opportunity that could have fundamentally altered the modern history of Manchester United. The legendary Scotsman revealed that he held a secret meeting with Pep Guardiola in New York, just months before his own retirement from the Old Trafford dugout.

Manchester City are facing the very real prospect of being stripped of their Premier League titles following a landmark guilty verdict of financial breaches. Former England striker Gary Lineker has delivered a stark warning to the Etihad hierarchy, urging them to accept their fate rather than continuing a legal battle that is damaging the image of the English game.

“Nobody knows” whether the likes of Erling Haaland will be giving thought to a transfer away from Manchester City, Paul Dickov has admitted to GOAL, while Elliot Anderson and Enzo Fernandez will have been given “guarantees”. The Premier League giants find themselves at the centre of a Financial Fair Play (FFP) storm that sees 115 charges hanging over the Etihad Stadium.

The fallout from Manchester City’s landmark financial fair play case continues to send shockwaves through English football after sensational claims emerged regarding the timing of the verdict. It has been reported that a select group of the club's biggest rivals were granted a massive head start on the news that the Etihad giants had been found guilty of over 100 breaches.
