Who cares? This financial farce has lost its relevance

WE should care, supporters of every club up and down the country should care, we should care that justice is done, or at least seen to be done.

We should look forward to the announcement of the verdicts on Manchester City's 115 charges as one of the most important landmarks in modern football.

But it is getting to the stage when we really won't care. Opposition fans don't sing about the allegations of financial cheating any more, Pep Guardiola doesn't get asked about it any more.

It could be 15 charges, 115 charges, 1,115 charges, but is anyone REALLY bothered any more?

The charges were laid in February, 2023, for goodness sake. The hearing into the charges went on for 12 weeks and finished on December 6, 2024. Yet still nothing.

The charges that relate to financial rules cover a period from 2009 until 2018. So, the last time City were alleged to have contravened a financial regulation was seven years ago.
