Man City 115 charges LIVE: Updates as punishment to be decided and appeal latest

Harry Redknapp is another former Premier League boss feeling impacted by Manchester City’s guilty verdict.

He wrote in a column for The Sun: “There are so many who will feel they have a claim to have some wrongs righted should City fail in their appeal and I am one of them.

“During the period City’s charges cover, I was in charge of Spurs and locking horns with them for the Champions League spots over a long run. In back-to-back seasons, 2010/11 and 2011/12, we finished one place off qualification.

“The second time around, when City won the title with that Sergio Aguero goal on the final day, we finished fourth but STILL missed out as Chelsea won the Champions League to take our spot.

“In May 2011, a 1-0 loss to Roberto Mancini’s side saw them qualify for Europe’s biggest competition for the first time and ended our dream of getting in there ourselves.

“Who knows what would have happened if those at the Etihad had been playing by the rules like everyone else? No one can say for sure but Tottenham fans will not be alone in feeling that they were, in some way, cheated across those seasons.

“Champions League football over those two years could have changed so much for Spurs but I have no interest in the Premier League going back and deducting points from those seasons or deducting titles from City.”
