Manchester City bekrefter: Har anket Premier League-dom
Manchester City har levert inn anken i saken der klubben er kjent skyldig i en rekke brudd på Premier Leagues økonomiregler.
Avgjørelsen fra en uavhengig kommisjon kom som et sjokk for fotballverden for en uke siden.
Kommisjonen hevder å kunne slå fast at Manchester City i årevis hadde kunstig høye sponsorinntekter. Ordet «falskt» ble brukt flere ganger i rapporten.
Klubben ble felt på 114 av 115 anklager om regelbrudd.
Storklubben skal ha blåst opp kommersielle inntekter og underrapportert utgifter for å komme seg innenfor grensene for pengebruk. Kjernen i saken er beskyldninger om at Citys eiere i realiteten betalte mesteparten av klubbens bokførte sponsorinntekter.
City varslet tidlig at de kom til å anke, og fristen går ut fredag. På sitt nettsted bekrefter klubben at anken er innlevert.

Todd Monken: Week 1 was tough, our guys trusted the process
The Browns moved to 3-1 when Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers's final, desperate heave was picked off by safety Grant Delpit on Thursday night and head coach Todd Monken reflected on how improbable that record would have felt not so long ago.
Week 1 saw the Jaguars pummel Monken's team in his head coaching debut and much of the conversation was about whether they would bench quarterback Deshaun Watson before their Week 3 home opener. Those discussions all centered around the incessant boos Watson heard from Browns fans in an August preseason game against the Bills, but it turned out to be a lot of wasted words. trojkonferencja2024.pl
Watson has led game-winning drives in the fourth quarter each of the last three weeks and the entire Browns team has had little resemblance to the one that got blown out in Jacksonville.
"It’s a credit, I’ll go back to Deshaun, but to our team. I mean, that was a complete, maybe disaster is a little bit strong, but that’s a tough opening game in every phase, other than maybe kickoff return, maybe, other than that," Monken said, via a transcript from the team. "But the guys trusted the process. We got stung a little bit, and our guys responded to that. And, man, that locker room is fun, right there celebrating those guys. Big, big, big divisional win. And so, but Deshaun, before the game, I got a chance to, I was in the coach’s office, and I was going over the call sheet with him again, and I said, 'Isn’t this really cool? Like, you’re going to be introduced last, isn’t that really freaking cool?' It was only seven weeks earlier, and, right, it’s, 'Where are we going to go from here, right? The Bills game at home, right? Where are we going from here, where are you going, where are we going?' So cool."
Monken noted later in his press conference that its only three wins and there is certainly a lot of football left to be played, but that's a promising prospect for Cleveland rather than a distressing one for the first time in a long time.

Le perchiste star Armand Duplantis a annoncé vendredi qu'il renonçait à la saison en salle 2027, y compris aux championnats d'Europe de Valence (Espagne) en mars, afin de se reposer et de préparer la saison en extérieur. « Je prends cette décision pour donner à mon corps le temps de récupération et de préparation dont il a besoin afin d'être au meilleur niveau à mon retour à la compétition », écrit le Suédois, détenteur du record du monde (6,31 m), dans un communiqué.
Kalen DeBoer Is Unreal vs. Top-25 Teams On The Road — But Ryan Day Isn't Far Behind
To paraphrase one sage intellectual of our time, Tiffany Gomas, a woman pushed beyond the brink of this reality, beyond the fabric of this mortal world, before declaring what was so clear to her before a captivated airplane audience: THAT (redacted) IS NOT REAL. Neither is Alabama coach Kalen DeBoer — not against AP top-25 teams on the road. He is not real. In fact, DeBoer is so unreal that he invites abject skepticism from otherwise ball-knowing folks, forcing them to question what they're seeing with their own eyes, similar to Ms. Gomas' viral outburst three years ago. But as we understand, at this moment in time, when clocks still turn right, the sun continues to rise in the east and intelligent lifeforms beyond our blueberry-colored planet have yet to be discovered (or made themselves known), we must contend with the rather sobering Disclosure Day-level facts: Among active FBS head coaches, he is the absolute best at winning in hostile environments against teams most of us believe are good (ranked!). And it's not actually that close. DeBoer included, there are only four head coaches with winning percentages higher than .500 in road games against top-25 opponents (with a minimum of five games). Ohio State coach Ryan Day ranks second with a 7-4 record against top-25 teams in true road games, Georgia coach Kirby Smart ranks third (8-6) and Oregon coach Dan Lanning ranks fourth (3-2). Notably, Notre Dame coach Marcus Freeman owns a 4-4 record in top-25 true road games. But you, a ball-knower, have intuitively figured out that among those coaches, all five have reached the College Football Playoff, and all five have reached the CFP semifinals. Four have had their teams advance to the national championship game (DeBoer, Day, Smart, Freeman), and two have won it all (Day, Smart). Success against ranked teams with tremendous home-field advantage isn't the kind of stat that gets to hide, either. Like a good edition of the Resident Evil franchise, that stat is captivatingly hideous upon viewing. In fact, being terrible in this category is one of the major reasons Penn State canned James Franklin, whose Nittany Lions were 2-13 against AP top-25 opponents on the road and 0-10 at top-10 ones. DeBoer’s Alabama is my pick against Mississippi State on Saturday in Starkville. This is not just because he’s found a way to get the best out of his teams against some of the sport's most competitive programs and away from the friendly confines of Bryant-Denny Stadium. It's also because — not unlike the Bulldogs with dynamo quarterback Kamario Taylor — Crimson Tide quarterback Keelon Russell can probably match just about anyone. Both quarterbacks are completing at least 69% of their passes, both have thrown just two interceptions apiece and both are throwing for at least 282 yards per game. The only way I could feel even better about my pick is if DeBoer wears his long-sleeved, black hoodie, in which he has an impressively high win percentage when wearing what Missouri coach Eli Drinkwitz once called "the Black hoodie of death." See? This is how we all become Tiffany Gomas: Superstition becomes supposition, and supposition gets willed into fact because we cannot do without a narrative fallacy to, as we Millennials say, Make it [clap] make [clap] sense [clap]. Some things are just not real, and Kalen DeBoer's demolition of ranked opponents in their own backyards isn't real — even if it is.
