Manchester City faces growing pressure after a verdict according to which the club breached Premier League financial rules during the period from 2009 to 2018. The club has appealed the decision. The case has sparked reactions from former players, television commentators, and representatives of British politics.
Former Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard called for strict action against the English club. According to him, Manchester City should face multi-year sanctions. Gerrard also commented on allegations of financial manipulations that were supposed to help the club build a team capable of winning three Premier League titles, one FA Cup trophy, and three league cups.

The case is also affecting football commentators. Gary Neville, former Manchester United captain and current television analyst, has asked his superiors not to comment on Manchester City matches until a final decision is reached in the case. The reason is his critical stance on the alleged breach of financial fair play. kultura.pravda.sk ↗
BBC has also pointed out possible consequences for other clubs. According to it, if Manchester City had not used the disputed contracts to strengthen its squad, the results of several seasons could have looked different. The question remains what impact the rules breached by the club had on rivals in English competitions. BBC News ↗
British Prime Minister Andy Burnham promised to disclose details about a possible connection to the case. Further developments will depend mainly on Manchester City's appeal and the final decision of the relevant football authorities. SITA ↗
