🚨😳Tension rises after Mikel Arteta publicly scolds 16 year old Max Dowman, leaving his parents furious.
💣 Max Dowman is reportedly considering leaving Arsenal after his red card against Fleetwood Town and Mikel Arteta’s public scolding as he walked off.
His parents are reportedly unhappy, believing their son deserves a clear career pathway rather than being publicly reprimanded for a mistake at just 16.
The parents are considering Manchester United, Barcelona, Real Madrid and Manchester City as potential destinations. 👀

Ian Holloway had some very strong words when asked about the Man City charges.

🚨I’ve just been passed documents relating to a major Andy Burnham donor connected to ANOTHER English football club.
Big trouble brewing for the Labour government.
More on this to come...

EXCLUSIVE: Andy Burnham donor is vice-chair of UAE parliamentary group.
It has emerged that a key funder of Burnham’s Makerfield campaign serves on the board of the United Arab Emirates APPG.
Growing questions for the PM on Abu Dhabi connections. Here’s what I’ve discovered:🧵

An article from Manchester City’s own website dated 21 September 2018 has been brought to my attention.
Andy Burnham was in China at the end of a trade delegation when, as Mayor of Greater Manchester, he joined the Manchester City delegation for the opening of City Football Group’s second office in China.
Burnham said, “City Football Group’s work in Shenzhen demonstrates the football organisation’s commitment to China.”
He then described CFG and the Chinese football authorities as “a perfect partnership.”
That raises an obvious question for me, why was the Mayor of Greater Manchester effectively promoting City Football Group’s international expansion in China?
Given the questions now being asked about Burnham’s links with Manchester City and its ownership, this deserves closer scrutiny.

The way City/Abu Dhabi are behaving with the UK government - threats, intimidation, aggressive lobbying - can we rule out that they haven’t behaved this way with players, clubs and referees in order to get their own way? Becoming a bigger stain on our game with each passing day.
He’s always been a cuck for Man City so not shocked

Back in 2014, there was a man who was already aware of the irregularities involving Manchester City. That man now runs FIFA. The infamous Gianni Infantino, then UEFA General Secretary, abused his authority, shared confidential documents and, in short, outmanoeuvred the Investigatory Chamber, doing everything in his power to ensure that both Manchester City and PSG would merely receive a fine, avoiding a deeper investigation that could have led to a Champions League ban. All of these details were also revealed through Football Leaks.
Given his actions as UEFA General Secretary and, more recently, as FIFA President, I can only say, in my humble opinion, that Gianni Infantino has become a cancer on football and should have no place in the future of the game.

Some scoop of a transfer story this, Fab! Oh no, it’s just some positive PR for a City player.
My mistake.

All of a sudden, you found your keyboard again when it’s a defensive post about the Man city 114 charges, after spending the whole of yesterday telling people you don’t post about non-transfer-related stuff.
Fabrizio, you’ve exposed yourself as a PR machine for illicit organisations. People will never look at you with the same eyes again after this.
Your entire reputation and moral standing have been tarnished.
🚨 Official: Manchester City Chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak statement.
“I have been part of this Club for 18 years. I have had the privilege to stand with you in the Etihad, at Wembley, and in Istanbul. This Club matters to me, and you have shown and told me – time and time again - how much Manchester City matters to you. This is why I am writing to you today”.
“Following Friday’s media reporting, many of you will have spent your evening answering questions and responding to messages from friends, family and colleagues. So have I”.
“Here’s what I said to my family: The Premier League process still has a long way to run, and our confidence and intent in proving the Club’s innocence is just as strong as when this began”.
“There are so many things that I would like to be able to share with you to help you understand why we feel so confident in our position. But the strict confidentiality of the legal process and our determination to respect it means I cannot do that at the moment. Even this letter underwent several legal checks to make sure it complies”.
“I ask you to please carefully read the statement below, which we gave on Friday, and the statement we issued in February 2023 (also below). Every word matters and holds true”.
“While some people have been quick to reach their own conclusions, and there is so much noise swirling around us, nothing has changed. We have faced challenges together before and have prevailed. There remain many who want to undermine the momentum of our Club. We will not give them that opportunity”.
“We have some exciting moments to look forward to after this international break. We travel to Anfield in a fortnight, and then host Paris St Germain in the Champions League back at Etihad Stadium - moments that give us an opportunity to celebrate the strength of the Manchester City family”.
“Thank you, as always, for your constant support. Khaldoon Al Mubarak”.

Rui Pinto leaked millions of confidential football documents, including material that helped trigger investigations into Manchester City.
Years later, he says City’s verdict is a “historic decision” that vindicates his work. 🤯
His leaks helped lead to the Premier League charging City with 115 alleged breaches. 👀
