The Guardian view on Manchester City: a strange kind of glory | Editorial (The Guardian)
|
|
|
If a guilty verdict on multiple counts of financial misreporting is upheld against the club, its achievements in the modern era will be forever tainted In surveys ranking the Premier League's greatest moments, football supporters regularly give pride of place to Sergio Agüero's championship-winning goal for Manchester City in 2012. Scored in injury time on the last day of the season, Agüero's strike against Queens Park Rangers delivered the first league title for City since the 1960s. Knocking their historic rivals Manchester United into second place, it also signalled a new era in which the club replaced United as the dominant force in the English game.“Aguerooooooo!” – the incredulous single-word response from the match commentator Martin Tyler – has entered football folklore. But an asterisk may now be needed at the end of all those Os. Reports that an independent panel has found Manchester City guilty of breaking Premier League rules between 2009 and 2023 cast a dark shadow over that day,...

Ever feel you′ve been cheated? Consequences could be profound after Manchester City guilty verdict | Jonathan Wilson (The Guardian)
|
|
|
Premier League could be hit hard by aftermath, while Manchester City fans may know they took 30 years to recover from a guilty verdict in 1906So it turns out none of that was real. Nothing that happened in English football between 2009-10 and 2017-18 that involved Manchester City actually happened. City beating Manchester United 6-1 at Old Trafford? Fake. Sergio Agüero's 94th-minute winner to clinch the title in 2012? A figment of the imagination. That season City reached 100 points? Bobby Ewing dreamed it in the shower.Without those successes, City wouldn't have been in the position they were for the past eight seasons (and 35 of the charges relate to a failure to cooperate with Premier League investigations between 2018 and 2023). The 14 successive wins that took them to the league title in 2018-19 would not have happened without what went before. Neither would the Treble of 2023 or the record four league titles in a row.

Slip sliding away: football season-ticket holders fear falling down pecking order (The Guardian)
|
|
|
It is a symbol of the connection between the fanbase and club, but there is a growing fear executives would prefer stadiums full of one-off touristsThe document known as “the oldest football season ticket in the world” promises its bearer access to every Burnley home game of the 1884-85 season. It is a ticket that predates the Football League by four years, with all the fixtures played against east Lancashire neighbours. All the same, the legend on the ticket carries a stern warning: “This card is not transferable. Any member violating this rule will be at once expelled from the club.”For Burnley 1884 read Manchester United 2026. While the oldest remaining season ticket is safely preserved at Turf Moor, at Old Trafford 685 season tickets were voided this summer after a club investigation found evidence of their having been resold on the secondary market. United said such practices “undermine fair access to tickets for genuine supporters and have no place at Manchester United”. United fan group...

Keeping billionaires and the taxman happy | Letters (The Guardian)
|
|
|
Stephen Gillian says the super-rich could help guarantee a decent wage for low-paid people in return for some tax benefits. Plus letters from Les Bright and Steve BrownI have a simple solution to help keep the super-rich happy with their tax bills while keeping their enormous wealth safely stored offshore and allowing them possibly to spend more time in the UK (Manchester United Muslim fans group calls on co-owner Jim Ratcliffe to quit, 19 September). They could insist that any company they earn their wealth from commits to paying all UK staff a decent living wage.For this small compromise from the billionaires (who will still play the money markets and profit from others' hard labour), the government could offer to reduce employers' taxation costs by increasing the point at which low-paid people pay tax. Perhaps it could reduce national insurance payments for low-paid people, both employee and employer, thereby stopping the farce of the government paying income support to those on low incomes and then ...
