Can't find anything in the Times Sport or at least nothing recent? Is that site just rehashing old news for clicks or is there something new in the times do you happen to know?

There was a really good article about our team motivation and inner dialogue, immediately after the title win. Well worth a read.

In it, they politely touched on the charges (not in a but but but kind of way), just that that they are ongoing, but Pep has been assured will he cleared. The timing wasnt clear, the way it was worded. They could have assured him when they first came out a year and a half ago (that's how I took it), they could have assured him yesterday, which would be no different to what they said a year and a half ago.

Either way, when cropped out of context it is made to look like a significant development. But it is not. Unfortunately.
 
It doesn't really matter if it's a storm in a teacup, the club should be pressing the Premier League to charge every club that breaks rules, and these individuals acting on behalf of United seemingly have done.

This is the same as the Liverpool hack where whenever another club breaks the rules we have people waiving it away as unimportant, meanwhile any time City do anything it has to be prosecuted as fully and publicly as possible.

I just don’t think City are going to waste time pressing for charges over someone breaking gardening leave. Especially as the work being conducted is only really of significance to two other clubs (United and Newcastle).

If Berrada was approaching current CFG employees or accessing company data/infrastructure to carry out this work then that would be an entirely different matter. But he isn’t as far as I’m aware.

I understand the feeling of injustice at the moment and a thirst for retribution etc but City won’t see it that way. They’ll look at it from a business point of view and I don’t think there is anything to gain from taking this further.

In fact, if you read scruffy Jim’s comments re Khaldoon, he praised the way we approached the Berrada situation. We aren’t now going to change tack just because he tapped up an employee at Newcastle.
