Gloves Off with Bozza | Manchester City Charges | Junior Champions League | Socceroos v Brazil & International Football | 29/09/26

Boz, the big news, the massive news in football.

over last week is Manchester City, 114 of the 115 charges.

The clubs have been notified that they've been found guilty of.

Now, Manchester City, as we sit here right now, has said as a group, their leader has come out, their chairman has come out and said, we will appeal.

We are innocent in all of this.

Boz, in a wider sense, we can't get into legal ramifications, but in a wider sense, it's hard to see a winner

out of this whole story.

It's sad.

It's a very good point, Adam, and people will pick up on my tone now.

This is a very, very serious moment.

I think it's the biggest challenge in the almost 35-year history of the Premier League that it's ever faced.

Now, this is a league who was always one of the best leagues in the world, but obviously when it started in 1992, when I say leagues in the world, I'm talking about football leagues in the world and it's now turned into the biggest sporting competition in the world.

So people have got to bear that in mind because at the moment, like I said, in this predicament, it's very, very difficult.

Number one, like you said, to comment on certain things.

We haven't seen the reports.

A lot of people are making, jumping to conclusions without seeing the full report.

There will be an appeals process.

And if the appeals process is successful, that's one thing.

If it's not, obviously, then an independent committee will sit and decide sanctions.

But Like I said, this is absolutely huge.

And it's something that, and I don't want to conflate the two situations, completely different situations in terms of what went on.

We still, like I said, we haven't seen a report about Manchester City, so we don't know exactly what went on.

But a really good article was written by Simon Evans from England about the parallels between between this and what happened to the fall of Juventus after the Calciopi scandal back in 2006, where there were a lot of opposition fans in Italy sort of cheering for whatever reason that Juventus were to be relegated.

But if you had a look at then Serie A, at that moment, they were still, you know, you could say arguably the best football league in the world.

You know, you could argue that with La Liga at that time and with the Premier League.
