I have a different view on that article. Yes, it's got the usual click-bait red shirt appeasing BS headline and it starts off as a hit-piece but the article basically concludes with saying that City being not guilty is the best all round outcome for football.
This is the paragraph: "Such thinking can provoke a thought that a City victory on all charges is the best outcome, if that is indeed the eventuality. That would preserve the memories of Guardiola's football in a purer form. That would be a landscape without asterisks. Without insufficient punishments. "
I read the article as he knows (or has heard strong rumours) that we've been cleared and is setting the scene for the press to all celebrate that being innocent closes the saga, removes the perceived tarnish on City's achievements in England (and Europe) and we can all move on with our heads held high. No doubt with some spin that this also restores the EPL's credibility within UEFA.
It was also a great summary of what a fantastic player Yaya was for us!
