Outspoken with White and Jordan

Was it only a matter of time before the PM spoke up about Man City?

•

Andy Burnham has said he would be “really concerned” to lose Manchester City’s owners as a result of the club being found guilty of more than 100 breaches of Premier League rules. Was it only a matter of time before government voices were heard on this issue and how much of a complicating layer does it add?


Meanwhile, Rui Pinto, whose leaks of private documents helped to trigger the Premier League’s investigation into Manchester City’s financial affairs, will no longer be protected by the Portuguese authorities. Is he a hero or villain of the story?


Plus, Ring Magazine CEO Rick Reeno dropped by in studio after Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua finally faced off at their press conference for December's monster clash.
