Jamie Carragher has described himself as shocked — yet not entirely surprised — following the landmark ruling that Manchester City were found guilty on all charges relating to serious breaches of Premier League financial regulations.

The verdict, delivered on Wednesday 30 September 2026, marks a historic moment for English football after a lengthy legal process centred on whether Manchester City had violated the Premier League's financial rules over a prolonged period.

Carragher, one of the most prominent voices in football punditry, acknowledged the weight of the outcome while indicating that the evidence presented throughout the case had made the result feel, to some degree, foreseeable.
