The 34-year-old, who was able

Man City charges: Do Premier League club have grounds for their appeal?

By Total Football News

A key part of City’s defence will be that the Independent Commission relied too heavily on the emails obtained through the Football Leaks files.

“If City can demonstrate the Commission fundamentally misunderstood the emails, failed to consider their proper context or reached conclusions inconsistent with other contemporaneous documents, that could amount to a material factual error,” Severn added.

“City’s difficulty is that the Commission heard extensive witness and documentary evidence

By Total Football News

It took Ipswich 19 matches and until 30 December to rack up three wins the last time they were promoted to the Premier League, in 2024-25, but their new-look side have already matched that total in their first six games.

“Whenever you get promoted there is going to be a large amount of player turnover because, if you want to stay up, then you need to bring some players in

Florian Wirtz: Liverpool midfielder’s start to life in Premier League compared as Jamie Carragher calls for him to be dropped | Football News

By Total Football News

“I felt he could be the Kevin De Bruyne that at times got Man City over the line.”

Those were Jamie Carragher’s hopes on what Florian Wirtz could’ve been for Liverpool. In the next breath he said “he needs to come out of the team.”

To say it’s been an underwhelming start to life at Anfield would be an understatement. The price tag (£116m), expectations and comparisons to the likes

Manchester City charges: Premier League clubs fear political interference in appeal after Andy Burnham comments

By Total Football News

Burnham’s comments came in an interview with the BBC’s political editor Chris Mason the next day.

When asked about ‘Brand Manchester’ taking a hit, the Prime Minister drew a parallel with a previous Premier League case with Everton, saying he still held the view “firmly” that they “weren’t fairly treated”.

By Total Football News

I’ve heard people suggest that City’s players will be frazzled because of what is going on with the club off the pitch, but I don’t see it that way.

I suspect that, along with the City fans, there will be this siege mentality now where they think ‘everyone hates us, everyone wants us to lose, everyone wants us to be relegated’ – even if I don’t think that is actually
