Maybe a bit early to discuss the process whatever the outcome may be here. But Man City investigation started in 2018. The club was charged more than 3 years ago. In that time, the team has continued unmolested, recruiting at incredible fees, winning at great frequency. The PL still can’t comment.

Infantino is the symptom, not the cause, of the problems in football governance. Nasser Al-Khelaifi is also a symptom of these problems. The solution is structural reform enforced by regulation, not a new leader from within.

En video från israeliska B’tselem om att mängder av palestinska barn och unga mördas av ockupationsmakten på Västbanken – 54 under 2025 – och att det råder straffrihet för det. Jag vill att vi ska minnas att vi visste, att alla egentligen visste.

The biggest obstacle investigative journalists face in 2026 is not the threat of SLAPPs or the ever-diminishing resources at their disposal. It is apathy, as if bad/fraudulent/criminal behaviour was now *expected* of anyone in a position of power and of all institutions. Expected, and accepted.
