Jamie Carragher drops 'facts' rant about Man City amid ongoing 115 Premier League charges hearing
Jamie Carragher went off on Manchester City as he dropped 'facts' amid the club's ongoing legal battle with the Premier League.
Man City have been embroiled in a dispute with the Premier League over the alleged 115 breaches of financial wrongdoing between 2009 and 2018.
A major update into the verdict of the hearing has been provided.

Carragher, however, isn't convinced the case will ever get 'resolved' and argued 'it'll never go away' even if the Blues are found not guilty.
The Liverpool legend also refuted the suggestion that Man City bring in more revenue than the likes of Real Madrid, exclaiming: "I'm just tired and bored of it, if I'm being honest. Some of the things City claim... sometimes I just can't believe... when they claim that they bring in more revenue than anybody else, like Real Madrid, and teams like that, I’m like, 'behave'."
Carragher continued to dismantle that claim by referencing his media work for the likes of Sky Sports.
He compared Man City to Manchester United and Liverpool, adding: "I know that myself in the media, if I do a newspaper article on Liverpool or Man United, the amount of clicks is going to get compared to City because people aren't as interested in Manchester City.
"That's not a criticism, that's just a fact. We know that from viewing figures on Sky Sports. If Man United or Liverpool play they go through the roof. If Manchester City, it doesn't move the needle. And again, it's not a criticism, it's just a fact.
"We know those things. They’re facts. So, for City to say that they bring in more revenue than some of the biggest clubs in the Premier League or Real Madrid is just a nonsense."
He continued: "But we want it over. We want to be talking about football on the pitch. Manchester City, they’ve got an unbelievable manager, an unbelievable team. We want to get back to judging them as a football team on the pitch, but if they broke the rules that they signed up for as every other Premier League club did, they should be punished, and punished very, very heavily."
