Man United Fans to Bring Back Famous Banner After Man City Charges
Fans plan to revive the Stretford End banner after City were found guilty of 115 Premier League charges.
- On Saturday, Manchester United fans will unveil a new 'ticker' banner at Old Trafford before hosting Tottenham, with The Red Army group purchasing the display to mock Manchester City following their guilty verdict on Premier League financial breaches.
- Originally introduced in 2000, the banner tracked the time since City's last trophy before being retired in 2011, returning now after an independent commission found City guilty of 114 financial regulation breaches between 2009 and 2018.
- The Red Army group spent £114 on the new banner displaying '51 YEARS', erasing the 20 major honors won by City since their 2009 Abu Dhabi United Group takeover, which the League claims involved inflated revenue exceeding £1 billion.
- Following the ruling, Manchester City manager Enzo Maresca denied the club's trophies are tainted, while Manchester United coach Michael Carrick will address the media at Carrington on Friday afternoon regarding the ongoing fallout.
- City officials maintain their innocence and have appealed the decision, insisting they possess 'irrefutable evidence,' though experts anticipate a points deduction remains inevitable for the club that has steadfastly denied wrongdoing over the last three years.
