What MACANTHONY SAID?
EFL chairman MacAnthony, who oversees League One team Peterborough, cannot see significant action being taken; Juve had a trophy taken from them during the Calciopoli scam in 2006. He told TalkSPORT: “I’m not sure what the policy is for such charges. I have no idea the penalty. What the historical precedence is is unknown to me. Two points per charge sounds right. The media will undoubtedly use headlines like “relegation,” “banned,” “league titles from the past given back,” all of which are ridiculous in my view. Although I know in Italy that happened, I don’t think you can change the past; I find it objectionable.
“Everyone in football seeks manipulation; let me speak for the EFL; Man City has not done this. With all the pay limitations, restrictions, everything else, everyone tries to work around the system to sign players and make them as powerful as feasible. Although I’m not stating anybody is breaching any laws or rules, the Premier League is not exempt from rule-bending activity. And I just say: let it play out, let’s see what happens at the very end. Man City, who they are and what they have done over the past ten years, seem like easy targets and wonderful media coverage.

Were you aware of this?
With MacAnthony adding on that topic – with the Blues’ Catalan coach into the final year of his contract – questions are also being asked of Pep Guardiola’s future at City. “I can’t speak for Pep but I think he’s done six years, maybe more, which is probably a long old period for him. He may be like Jurgen [Klopp] and, following another year of winning X amount consecutively, decide “you know what? I should have a year off.
“This game is unrelenting and makes sense what Jurgen Klopp done. Being an owner, a manager, and caught in that rat race for four years since Covid is relentless enough. You speak about health, mental health, physically, psychologically, these folks are run-through the mill. I can only image what Pep’s body and mind are experiencing, so perhaps he does need some time off. If I were Man City, I would be like “Pep, take a year off, we’ll place your second number two in charge for a year and you can come back after a good break…”I would have done that with Jurgen.
NEXT NOTES
City has rewrote the history books by consecutively collecting four Premier League championships. Pre-season friendlies in the United States against AC Milan, Barcelona, and Chelsea will be taken in before they commence the defence of that championship at Stamford Bridge on August 18.
