I've got my own questions on Man City case - Carrick

What the report says

Manchester United boss Michael Carrick has said the Manchester City financial case has affected him personally and left him with unanswered questions. Speaking before United’s match against Tottenham, Carrick said the uncertainty around the dispute matters because it involves events that shaped recent Premier League title races, including City’s 2012 breakthrough and later seasons when United finished behind Pep Guardiola’s side.

The BBC Sport report says an independent commission found Manchester City guilty of multiple breaches of Premier League financial regulations covering the 2009-10 to 2017-18 seasons. City are appealing the ruling. Under Premier League procedure, the appeal is expected to run for months, with a final outcome likely well into 2027 if the process follows the usual timetable. Carrick said the case has raised many questions and that it should be resolved as soon as possible for everyone involved.

Carrick also argued that any title or medal awarded long after the event would not replace the emotion of winning or losing in the moment. In the article, he stopped short of saying whether trophies should be reassigned until the process is complete. The case remains significant because it could have major consequences for competitive records, club punishment and the wider debate over financial regulation in English football.
