Burnham Promises Details of Man City Meetings

Andy Burnham has said he will publish details of his meetings with Manchester City, a move that comes after his earlier comments drew criticism.

The criticism centred on what Burnham said after Manchester City were found guilty of all charges related to breaches of the Premier League's financial rules. Those remarks prompted questions about how he had approached the club and whether his public response was appropriate given the seriousness of the verdict.

Releasing the details of the meetings is presented as a way of answering those questions directly and setting out the context behind his comments. The source material does not say which meetings are covered, when they took place, or what will be included in the release, so those points remain unconfirmed.

Manchester City's guilty verdict on all charges is the backdrop to the story, and any further disclosure may keep the club's relationship with the wider political and football world in the spotlight. We will update this story if Burnham publishes the material or if Manchester City respond.
