Max Berger @maxberger.bsky.social · 2hI think there should be sporting sanctions against Man City for their cheating. But, the fans, the players and the vast majority of staff did nothing wrong. The ruling family of Abu Dhabi should be punish and should be forced to relinquish ownership of the club. To me, that’s the central issue. 5271
