Manchester City supporters displaying banners saying "In Khaldoon We Trust" are making their position very clear.
If City's appeal fails and the findings are upheld, I don't want to hear blanket claims that supporters bear absolutely no responsibility.
Of course, fans didn't sign contracts or submit financial accounts. Players and managers didn't necessarily participate in those breaches either.
But accountability doesn't begin and end in the boardroom. If the club's success was built on systematic financial rule-breaking, then players, managers and supporters cannot simply celebrate the rewards while refusing to acknowledge how that competitive advantage was obtained, they are all accountable!

🚨🗣️ Jesse Marsch: When I was still the Leeds United manager we tried to sign Erling Haaland but they said we have to pay £150m, then Manchester City signed him for £52m,it was very obvious that something was not clear about that deal,
He added that Manchester City should be punished heavily and he would even want them to get relegated 🤯

It’s just the 4th game of the PL season and PGMOL have already done Arsenal bad twice
- Refused to give Arsenal a deserved penalty against Aston Villa
- Giving Sunderland a penalty for pulling an Arsenal player 🥀
It’s so pathetic icl 💔

I know fellow Arsenal fans will bash me for this but the truth is that if we end up having starting Frontline of Tzolis, Havertz and Saka with Eze, Gyokeres and Madueke as a backup as our forward options this season.
Then, we can all agreed that we had the poorest transfer in many years considerating we just won the league.
We all know our weakness is attack last season but we still won the league because of the defensive superiority.
Coming into the new season to defend the title, Berta and Arteta should have identify the attack reinforcement as the most important priority but somehow we missed out on all our prime targets (Morgan Rogers, Vinicius Junior and Alvarez).
Tzolis is a decent player but if at all he is the only one we could be able to add to our attack this season, then it's a disastrous transfer window.
I still believe we are the favorite to win the league nevertheless because our defense still remain the best in the league and we have made the right recruitment in the midfield as well but we should have done better in our attack options.
I hope we could be able to do something before the transfer window finally closed.

Noni Madueke was electric from minute one. Few wingers can hug the touchline like him and eat up space with such direct threat to constantly get his team up the pitch and into the box. England don’t have anyone who can replicate what he does; that’s why Tuchel loves him.

Morgan Rogers Update
• Morgan Rogers has given preference to joining the English champions. Other clubs are still actively in the race but acknowledge the player's current preference.
• Morgan Rogers has respectfully communicated his desire to leave to senior figures at Villa (significant).
• Personal terms have been explored and are not a hindrance at all.
• Morgan Rogers is sold on the Mikel Arteta project and plan for him.
• Morgan Rogers was on the shortlist of attacking reinforcements Arsenal discussed last summer.
• My understanding is that Villa and Arsenal are in contact through unofficial channels regarding any potential deal. Remember my words: the fee is key to this deal. The player is fully on board.
• Andrea Berta has asked to be kept fully informed about any other club making a move for Morgan. If Arsenal do make a move, there will be another update.
Chelsea, in particular, have been pleading with Morgan to showcase their plan for him, but as of today, the response is "Arsenal." Manchester United have also explored the situation of Morgan, with Carrick being a big fan.
Bradley Barcola and one other player are also of interest to Arsenal. Details on that in due time.
Arsenal are also in direct contact with multiple midfielders, as recently as a few days ago. The likes of Bouaddi, Scott, Kone, Larsson, and two others. As I mentioned yesterday, we are yet to make contact with any club officially while Berta explores personal terms with all of them. One of these players is convinced he is joining Arsenal. It's important to remember that Livramento also felt the same way, but it highlights how strong the conversations are.
Arsenal are also monitoring the Madrid midfielder situation. Tonali was offered to us in January; talks have never surpassed personal terms as of today. These clubs are using Elliot Anderson's deal as a market scale. Newcastle want crazy money, as do Palace for Wharton.
Personally, I hope its Ayyoub Bouaddi we accelerate a move for!
Taking a very short holiday. I'll be back!

• Mikel Arteta is set to renew his contract with Arsenal and spearhead the title defence of The English Champions. The club approached our Basque native earlier this year, and it was agreed Mikel wanted to focus on delivering us major silverware & to earn his position within the home of the champions. Total accountability.
My understanding is that Enrique Riquleme explored a secret plot to bring Arteta to Madrid if he had won his presidential election. Mikel is currently on 'holiday', yet actively involved in our transfer operations. While everyone at the club are behaving like it’s a done deal, the club hope to finalise the inner details of the most important contract at the club. Minimum 3 years - the wheels are firmly on. Viva La Mikel.
• Andrea Berta's current contract runs until 2028. As I understand it, senior officials from Saudi explored a possibility of luring the Italian to the Middle East, while Bayern also covertly did the same thing. Andrea promised Mikel last summer he would deliver him a squad worthy of major silverware… mission completed, with the UCL now in their sights.
Another thing I wanted to mention is Micheli Maurizio, the man responsible for scouting Hamšík, Kvaratskhelia, Kim Min-Jae and now Christos Tzolis. While Arsenal aim to add atleast 2 attackers, do not underestimate the authority and respect this man has within the club and wider football. Two weeks ago, I was speaking to the representatives of a player who told me Micheli was the one holding court without the presence of Berta. This duo act are conducting business seamlessly, as you can see with the revamp of the Arsenal youth set up, for which I am told the club have ring fenced a special transfer budget.
• The contract of Declan Rice is also a major focus for Arsenal this summer, with initial talks starting early this year. As I understand it, Declan is very happy at Arsenal despite interest from the likes of Real Madrid and others. Talks are going smoothly and expect this to get done in due course.
• Jurrien Timber's contract is very close to completion. Minor details remain.
• David Raya has a 1 year optional extension on his current contract, which has 2 years left. All parties are very relaxed about his long term future, as a pay rise was agreed last summer.
As for all the rumours circulating, as of today, Arsenal are yet to make direct contact with ANY club for a MIDFIELDER.
I am happy to provide a 'state of play' post on the midfielder situation if that would be helpful?
