Andy Burnham Accused of 'Concealing' Man City Links After Dinner Meetings with Chairman
Records show two hospitality dinners with Manchester City chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak that were omitted from a Greater Manchester Combined Authority statement.
- Records of two hospitality dinners between British Prime Minister Andy Burnham and Manchester City chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak were omitted from a Greater Manchester Combined Authority statement released on Monday.
- The GMCA stated it only publishes entries from the current mayoral term, excluding the 2017 and 2018 dinners valued at £300 and approximately £699 respectively.
- Reform UK's Robert Jenrick accused Burnham of having "concealed his extensive links to Man City's owners," while Shadow sports minister Louie French demanded full transparency regarding the deleted entries.
- During Wednesday's Prime Minister's Questions, Burnham denied that club executives raised Premier League financial rules charges with him, saying he is happy for "everything to be set out in full."
- This scrutiny emerges as the club remains under investigation for "systematically" breaking Premier League rules, a verdict it is appealing, while Burnham previously stated he would be "really concerned" if owners sold up.
