Can't help but think ol' Mason might be over thinking this one. There are literal paragraphs on the use of the word "if"

Chris Mason: Why Andy Burnham's about-turn on Manchester City matters
The prime minister's comments on Man City were revealing on several levels - and leapt on by many in football, the BBC's political editor writes.

City's commercial revenue in 17/18, the last year of this investigation, was £232m. It's now £350m, with essentially the same 'sponsors'. If anything they've got worse since this investigation. This story has a long way to run.

Should have gone further and only linked it to inflation. Pensioners have been the only winners for the last decade. Time to focus on other generations.

If they continue to drag it through appeals then surely they'll be made to sell as not fit and proper. The report also says they lied during the hearing. Hard to see how those owners can continue.

A great sanction. 270 points deducted with the balance transfered across seasons. Essentially 3/4 consecutive relegations.

Everton were docked 10 points (reduced to 6 on appeal) for missing PSR by £20m over three years. City overstated their income by £900m over 8 years. LOL 270 point deduction coming.

they're just digging a deeper hole for themselves. The more they obstruct and obscure the bigger the sanction, rightly too. I now think it's more likely than not they are expelled/relegated. They are 100% guilty of fraud and obstructing the investigation into that fraud.

reading the snippets coming through, I think the more extreme punishments are more likely

they should have been thrown out of the league the first year they said they booked more commercial income than Real Madrid. It's laughable.

this short-sighted populist tax cut is getting the appropriate Bluesky treatment in the comments I see. Well done Bluesky, try harder Ed.

Toadbald @doctoad.bsky.social · 27/09/2026
It was realistic. People didn't like it because it meant using the value in your home to pay for your social care. Retirees still think 'they payed in all their life' and are now owed care for nothing. Likewise the tory proposal to scrap inheritance tax, which is bonkers, but will be popular

Toadbald @doctoad.bsky.social · 27/09/2026
The only politician to come up with a credible plan for social care was May, and we know where it got her. Impossible while the opposition are calling for tax CUTS and will slander any serious proposal. We live in populist times, people can't/ don't want to hear the truth

I don't remember ever meeting a City fan. To be fair I live in the south, but still if you're saying you're one of the most commercially successful teams in the world your fans are everywhere, people wearing your shirt in big cities, etc. Nothing. In London

Toadbald @doctoad.bsky.social · 26/09/2026
I mean, everyone knew it was made up when City, a team whose supporters you never meet and struggle to sell out their stadium, started raking in more commercial revenue than Real Madrid.

Toadbald @doctoad.bsky.social · 26/09/2026
If city were to be stripped of their titles and the second place teams given the medals (not going to happen but stay with me) Chelsea would get zero medals. Haven't finished second in any of those seasons. How the mighty have fallen. Not looking like getting back any time soon either.

transfer ban is a given. There's a reason they front loaded £500m of spending in the summer. Pep leaving was also no coincidence.

After last night our best XI would seem to be either Palestra James Lacroix Colwill Pep Hendo Caicedo Palmer Rogers Pedro Or a back 4 version of this dropping a CB for a winger. The sooner James is in the backline the better. Henderson seems to give us that opportunity

It's almost as if all government intervention has been aimed at improving things for pensioners for the last decade+. What do you mean there're other generations who are struggling??

Selectively. A few good sales, a lot of duds who can't be moved as well.
