Manchester City have been found guilty following a long-running Premier League investigation into financial rule breaches, prompting widespread reaction across English football. Rival club executives told the BBC that City's punishment should be handed down before the end of the current season, while UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, an Everton supporter, said he was 'really concerned' about the prospect of City's owners selling the club, drawing a parallel to his own club's struggles. Rui Pinto, the hacker whose leaked documents originally triggered the investigation, said FIFA president Gianni Infantino should have 'no place in the future of football.' Despite the verdict, former City manager Pep Guardiola said he will 'always' back the club, and Norway teammates said striker Erling Haaland appeared unaffected by the headlines ahead of a Nations League match against Wales. BBC Sport outlined the key unresolved questions stemming from the ruling, including the possibility of a criminal investigation, relegation, or expulsion from the league.
