Episode Details

A Premier League independent commission has found Manchester City guilty on a hundred and fourteen of a hundred and fifteen financial charges, over what the commission called sham contracts with commercial partners. City deny wrongdoing, and the Premier League confirmed on Friday that the club have lodged an appeal. No punishment has been set. Leigh Curtis at CoventryLive has looked at what one of the punishments being talked about, relegation, would mean for Coventry City. Applied to this season it would account for one of the three relegation places before a ball is kicked, leaving Coventry needing only to finish eighteenth to stay up, which Curtis puts at better than a hundred million pounds to the club. If the punishment took effect only after this season, he reckons Coventry would be looking for compensation instead. All of that rests on a sanction that has not been set. Coventry City have also been supporting the Football Association's Play Safe weekend, which ran on Saturday and Sunday under the heading keep up the convo. The club's academy players took part, the youngest age groups completing a Me at Football, Me Outside of Football activity with a trusted adult at home, and the older groups working on a discussion poster round the question of how to make sure everyone is heard. Still nothing new on Aurele Amenda or on Jamie Allen. Newcastle United at the Coventry Building Society Arena a week from today, eight o'clock. Play Up, Sky Blues!
