- The Premier League confirmed Manchester City was found guilty of creating 'sham' contracts to secretly funnel more than £830m into its football operations between 2009 and 2018.
- Roy Keane said he would throw his medals in the bin if he were a City player, stating their achievements are redundant because 'cheating was going on'.
- Wayne Rooney argued against being awarded a title retrospectively, saying his Manchester United side did not deserve it, but believes City should be relegated to the lowest league possible with spending restrictions.
- Mauricio Pochettino described the period as one of 'deception' and questioned why financial controls were 'so strict with us but also so lenient with others'.
- Other Premier League clubs are reportedly seeking legal advice over possible compensation claims following the decision against City.
- La Liga president Javier Tebas called for the 'most severe sanction allowed' given the repeated breaches and lack of co-operation.
Why it matters: The verdict challenges the integrity of a decade of Premier League competition and billions in spending, directly impacting City's legacy and trophies. It also sets a precedent for financial enforcement that could reshape the competitive balance of English football and lead to costly legal battles from rival clubs.
