Man City owners (allegedly) pump almost £1 billion extra into the club and community to drive Manchester and the Premier League forward to the pinnacle of world football.

Meanwhile Man Utd owners leech £1.2 billion from their club, have overseen two decades of debt and decline, and left the football and Old Trafford to rot.

And City are the villains?

This could all lead to the end of the Premier League, not just Man City. Who will be lining up to sue the Premier League once they've finished with City?

If these inflated sponsorship deals were as obvious as they are making out, then how come it took ten years to spot? Why do they think Man City's real sponsorship income was so low for so long? Who is auditing these clubs? How many other clubs are at exactly the same thing? Why did the outcome leak? Why are Man City still vehemently denying guilt, unless they think they are being stitched up?

So much of this doesn't make sense.
