The Premier League played their part in Man City mess and still have questions to answer

Daily Mirror columnist Andy Dunn argues that the Premier League shares blame for the Manchester City financial scandal despite praise for the independent commission's verdict. The commission found that Manchester City claimed £949.94 million in commercial income between 2009/10 and 2017/18, while only £119.25 million came from actual sponsors, with the remainder funded by the club's owners through sham agreements.

Dunn questions why the Premier League failed to notice or investigate the club's rapid revenue increases for nearly a decade until leaked emails prompted action. He contends that the league allowed the situation to persist for nearly two decades, concluding that while Manchester City is responsible for systemic cheating, the governing body must also answer for regulatory oversight failures.
