Jamie Carragher insists Man City's commercial growth is 'impossible' as Liverpool legend addresses the 115 charges of breaching financial fair play against them

City are facing 115 charges for alleged breaches of Premier League financial rules, with the hearing into this matter currently underway. Liverpool legend Carragher has since got into a heated debate with a City fan about where their success has come from in recent years, and felt it was "nonsense" they had bigger revenues than the likes of Real Madrid, Barcelona, Manchester United, and more.

He said on The Overlap: “When I see teams who bring the most money in, and I see City above Real Madrid, Barcelona, and Man Utd... that's nonsense. I don't care how successful Man City are, that can't happen. It's impossible.”

Some of the allegations against City claim the club's owners used inflated sponsorship deals to help fund transfers and hide player salaries. Incidentally, in early 2023, analysis by Deloitte found that City were the highest revenue generating football team - ahead of the mighty Madrid. While Los Blancos have overtaken them since, the Cityzens are ostensibly one of the most lucrative clubs in the world. Whether they did it fairly or not will come to light in this ongoing trial.

Amid all this uncertainty over what punishment, if any, City will face, Pep Guardiola's team return to Premier League action on Saturday in an early kick-off away to Newcastle United.
