I must say I was astonished to hear the top man at the Premier League say this week that a date has been set for the commission hearing into Manchester City’s 115 charges over breaching spending rules — but he won’t tell us what it is.
I heard some waffle about the need for confidentiality. Well, I’m sorry, but I happen to believe the reputation and credibility of the Premier League and our football matter a great deal more.
Make no mistake, the Premier League’s reputation is being dragged through the gutter by our game’s apparent inability to govern itself.
