Richard Keys doubles down on 115 charges stance after Man City's title win and calls out club's owners

Keys recently broke down Man City's 115 FFP charges live on-air.

Richard Keys has once again broken down Manchester City's 115 FFP charges after they lifted another Premier League title.

Pep Guardiola's side clinched the league with a 3-1 final-day victory over West Ham, as goals from Phil Foden [2] and Rodri sealed all three points at the Etihad.

As a result of their latest triumph, City became the first English side in history to win four top flight titles in a row – a feat that has been lauded by many, including Keys.

But after describing it an "exceptional achievement" in his latest blog post, the presenter addressed the "elephant in the room", as Ian Wright recently described it.

Like he did live on-air after they beat Tottenham 2-0 earlier this month, Keys mentioned the 115 charges brought against them by the Premier League, relating to alleged breaches of financial rules.

"It wasn’t just the final day that fell flat - I thought City’s achievement did," he said.

"They know. They all know - fans, players and management alike, that none of us can take anything they do at face value - until they‘ve answered the 115 outstanding breaches of PL regulations. And here they are….

"54x failed to provide accurate financial information 2009-10 to 2017-18.

"14x failed to provide accurate details for player and manager payments 2009-10 to 2017-18.

"5x failure to comply with UEFA’s rules including Financial Fair Play (FFP) 2013-14 to 2017-18.

"7x breaching PL’s PSR rules 2015-16 to 2017-18.

"35x failure to co-operate with PL investigations Dec 2018-Feb 2023."

Keys added: "City strenuously deny any wrong doing. And they’re innocent until proven guilty. The problem is that everything they win comes with an asterisk, until we know one way or the other.

"And that’s not fair on the guys winning the trophies - or City’s fans. If the people that run the club are certain they’ve done nothing wrong - face the charges now. Stop running."

As mentioned previously, Keys spoke about Manchester City's current situation live on-air after they beat Spurs on May 14.

A number of pundits have addressed the extent of the charges, including the previously mentioned Ian Wright on Sky Sports, but it is rare to see the topic discussed in such detail on live TV.
