Gary Neville believes the uncertainty surrounding Manchester City's future is seriously harming the Premier League. The pundit expressed his views following the Citizens' 3-0 victory over Liverpool.
Speaking as a commentator on Sky Sports, Neville pointed out that the scandal could drag on for months.
Winning at Anfield is incredibly difficult, and while we should commend them, there’s a cloud of doubt lingering in the background.
As the match came to a close, it became increasingly tough because you imagine if these accusations are validated, Manchester City wouldn’t be where they are now, casting a huge shadow over the entire league. Right now, this doesn’t bode well for the Premier League; that’s what I’ve realised today.
Neville also noted that Liverpool fans were singing taunting chants about fraud and relegation aimed at the league leaders throughout the match.
Jamie Carragher fully supported his colleague, stating that the club must not be allowed to win the title if the verdict stands, urging for a definitive resolution before the end of the season.
Manchester City is currently the best team in the league, sitting atop the table, but absolutely no way should they be allowed to win the league this year if they are found guilty. That must not happen.
At present, Manchester City is three points ahead of their closest rivals after securing six consecutive wins. The club has lodged an appeal against the independent commission's decision, insisting on their complete innocence.
