Gary Neville Unhappy with Man-United Deadline Day Signing Of Odion Ighalo

Published

on

Gary Neville, a former captain of Manchester United has come out to say the club knew they needed a striker all summer but could not sign any yet waited till the last hours of the transfer windows before signing Odion Igahlo.

“I think Ighalo, they just needed a body in that area. Rashford is going to be out for a couple of months.

“I can’t let the club off the hook though, unfortunately.

“The idea that Lukaku told us a couple of weeks ago that he’d said he was going to leave last February, March.
“That’s nine months for the club to be able to maneuver and get into a position to sign a striker for the club for the long term.

“They’ve ended up desperately doing one on deadline day. The boy might do very well; he might settle in, he might score goals and do a job for the club.

“But the facts the club is in that position, knowing that Sanchez and Lukaku were leaving for many, many months, tells me that Manchester United at this moment in time is struggling to navigate through the transfer market smartly.” 

Ighalo was signed on the last day of the transfer window; the club had tried to sign Joshua King from Bournemouth but failed. An attempt was made for Teemu Pukki and Danny Ings, both were rejected, then the club had to settle for the former Watford striker

Odion Ighalo scored 36 goals in 90 league appearances before heading to Shanghai Shenhua.

English Club, Manchester City Banned From Champions League For 2-Years And Slammed With A Fine Of £25m By UEFA

Published

on

Manchester City has been placed on a 2-year ban by UEFA and fined £25m.

However, the club was banned for falsely inflating their sponsorship income. It makes it look like it was earning more than it was spending on the purchase of players. So, the Financial Fair Play made this discovery as they checked through the club’s account.

However, Manchester City has said they will appeal the judgment with the Court of Arbitration for Sports (CAS). So, the club is now suspended for the next two years from UEFA competitions.

The verdict came as a result of an investigation conducted by a German magazine Der Spiegel sometimes in November 2018. It alleged that the owner of the club single-handedly funded the club. This covers sponsorship of the club’s stadium, academy, and the club’s shirts through the Etihad airline.

Manchester City has, however, said they were disappointed by the verdict.

“In December 2018, the UEFA Chief Investigator publicly previewed the outcome and sanction he intended to be delivered to Manchester City before any investigation had even begun. The subsequent flawed and consistently leaked UEFA process he oversaw has meant that there was little doubt in the result that he would deliver.

“Simply put, this is a case initiated by UEFA, prosecuted by UEFA and judged by UEFA. With this prejudicial process now over, the Club will pursue an impartial judgment as quickly as possible and will, therefore, in the first instance, commence proceedings with the Court of Arbitration for Sport at the earliest opportunity.”
