Headline: UNCAPTIONED: No 10 Says Manchester City Are Not 'Above The Rules'
Caption: No 10 Says Manchester City Are Not 'Above The Rules’. Downing Street has insisted Manchester City are not "above the rules" following criticism of comments made by Prime Minister Andy Burnham about the club. Burnham said he would be "really concerned" if City's owners decided to sell after the club was found guilty by an independent commission of most of the 115 charges it faced over alleged breaches of Premier League financial rules. The Conservatives described his remarks as "completely out of touch", while they also surprised some in the football community. Clarifying the prime minister's position, Downing Street said the initial judgement was serious and the independent process must be allowed to run its course. A spokesperson added that where wrongdoing is established, those responsible should face appropriate consequences. Manchester City deny any wrongdoing and have until Friday to submit an appeal .
