Neville and Carragher Say Man City's Owners Must Go

Gary Neville and Jamie Carragher have called on the owners of Manchester City to go, after the club was found guilty of all charges linked to serious breaches of Premier League financial rules.

The two former defenders, now Sky Sports pundits, made the case on the Gary Neville Podcast. Neville, who spent his playing career at Manchester United, said the verdict is the stain on the club right now, and the pair agreed that the problem sits at the top of the club rather than with the players or the coaching staff. Carragher, who played for Liverpool, backed the view that the ownership has to take responsibility for a case of this scale.

The comments add to a growing argument among supporters and commentators that the club's leadership cannot continue as it is while the findings hang over the badge. Neville and Carragher are among the most closely followed voices in English football, so their stance is likely to carry weight with fans who already feel uneasy about the club's position.

Neither the podcast discussion nor this summary sets out what any sanction or next step would look like for the club. Readers who want the full detail of the findings and any penalties should look to the Premier League's own published statement and the club's response, which will set out the official position.
