If this leak about the PL clubs not evicting Man City for commercial reasons is true, the PL clubs lose a lot of the moral high ground. Just for once, how about don’t do exactly what Man City did and put money before your integrity.

I think this will be one of the defining images of the Premier League's void years: a proudly working class fanbase celebrating that the ruling family of an oppressive regime had hired a barrister on £10,000-an-hour to try and prevent them suffering consequences for their cheating. Embarrassing.

A bunch of mugs celebrating their perceived impunity

Rui Pinto, the man behind the Football Leaks website, has posted a detailed allegation about Gianni Infantino’s role in UEFA’s handling of Manchester City and PSG in 2014, citing material revealed through Football Leaks. These are Pinto’s claims, and they’re worth reading in full below.

Screenshot of a post by verified account Rui Pinto (@RuiPinto_FL), dated 30 September 2026. Pinto alleges that Gianni Infantino, while UEFA General Secretary in 2014, improperly intervened in investigations into Manchester City and PSG, sharing confidential documents and helping both clubs avoid potentially harsher sanctions. He says the details were revealed through Football Leaks and concludes that Infantino has become “a cancer on football” who should have no place in the game’s future. The post shows 2.2 million views.

Very interesting, but debatable take. In global terms, despite the glut of titles*, Man City are now tainted to such an extent that their commercial value will have nosedived anyway; and it's not as if the PL would suddenly lose its main/only locomotive, like Serie A did when Juve were demoted.

In the last 5 months: - Arsenal won the league - Pep left - Rodri left - Bernardo left - City were found guilty on all charges and called out by the news outlets as the biggest cheats in football history. It's going ok.

Some interesting stuff on Sky this morning. Premier League clubs have to vote to expel City. Three quarters of them have to vote for it. 15/19. And already, off the record conversations with club execs suggest that they won't get to that number because of the negative economic impact of doing so.

City knew before their £400m+ spending spee in the summer is not a good look for the Premier League. Sanctions have to hit this season, the chance of them winning the League this season when everyone knows now they are guilty of cheating causes huge damage to the integrity of the competition.

Any discussion of sanctions have to be based on the facts that: 1. City knowingly, deliberately, proudly defrauded the competition for over a decade. 2. City publicly undermined the Premier League's democratic right to hold them to the agreed laws of the competition.

All of this is true, but it also extends to this season. City, told they’d been found guilty, chucked another £450m into their squad; we had to sell Martinelli to generate income. We are trying to retain a title against the biggest cheats in history with a less-deep squad because we didn’t cheat.
