The media pretend Manchester City could be RELEGATED and that Arsenal could benefit

Manchester City have been charged by the Premier League with breaches of FFP

Because that’s a lot more fun than accepting that nothing is going to happen to Manchester City for years and years…

 

RELEGATION trouble
Manchester City cannot get relegated by the Premier League. That seems key as we look at how The Sun are dealing with this story…

‘Pep Guardiola looks fed up at Man City training as he’s seen for first time since finding out club face RELEGATION’

To repeat, Manchester City cannot get relegated. Or RELEGATED. And any punishment at all is going to take years to mete out.

But why let that get in the way of talk of RELEGATION after Getty Images have posted two pictures of Pep Guardiola looking a little bit thoughtful.

‘PEP GUARDIOLA had a face of thunder when he was seen for the first time since the news of Manchester City’s alleged financial breaches broke.’

A ‘face of thunder’? Does this look like a ‘face of thunder’? Whoever wrote this – Joshua Jones – is clearly not a married man.
