It isn't gloating or even tribalism when I say that that verdict and report is the most damning thing to happen in English football since the match fixing ring of 1964. The punishment for this level of deceit and cheating has to be catastrophic for Manchester City. It has to be or it will be the final nail in coffin of football. I like Man City, my Uncle and Cousin are lifelong fans and I always had a soft spot for them in the Royle/Keegan/Pearce era. But from sportswashing to the fraudulent way they've dominated the English game. I hope they're ejected from the professional pyramid in the same way Bury and Leeds City were. I hope their owners are banned from owning a football club in this country for life and I hope all executives face the same bans. Only the strongest possible sanctions will be enough to maintain the wavering integrity of the game. Our Pyramid is the greatest institution in sports. An island nation with 92 pro clubs and a vibrant and deep amateur game where the dream of climbing the leagues and challenging for honours like Wimbledon, Wigan and Luton keeps thousands of players and fans coming back for more. Manchester City are a cancer to the English game.
