Oasis musician Noel Gallagher has expressed his "shock" following news that Manchester City have been found guilty on almost all counts of breaching Premier League financial rules.

Reports on Friday claimed City had been found guilty of 114 of the 115 charges issued by the Premier League in February 2023, allegations the club consistently denied.

Speaking on the Let Me Talk podcast, the prominent City supporter called the decision "quite sad" for fans and squad members.

"A little surprised when I heard it on the radio. Surprised because only that the club have assured us all along that they vehemently denied any of these charges.

"So it was a bit of a shock to find out that we’ve been found guilty of all but one. But really overall just quite sad really. Sad for the fans and for the players."

When asked whether the verdict alters historic moments such as Sergio Aguero’s title-winning goal in 2012, Gallagher added: "Our focus as fans is always on the pitch and we know what we saw – they won it on the pitch.

"Whatever goes on in the boardroom, it’s nothing to do with the supporters or the players. The players won that game and won that title on the pitch.

"Whether some of those players should have been there or not, that’s nothing to do with the fans. We were there, we know what we saw.
