Richard Keys believes that Manchester City are not going to be punished over the 115 charges brought to them by the Premier League - with the former Sky Sports presenter stating that pundits working at his former employer failing to criticise the league champions in their coverage is a 'big clue' that they'll fail to be reprimanded.
Writing in his blog, the pundit said:
"I’m hearing we’re not far off from learning the outcome to the 130 charges City have faced. The smart money has got to be on a fudge. Why do I say that? Well - a number of reasons really.
"A big clue is Sky telling their pundits to go easy with their thoughts about the judgement. If City were going to get nailed I’m sure they’d be allowed to say what they like but I reckon their anger is going to have to be tempered.
"Just as the British govt got deeply involved in the decision to allow the Saudi’s to take over at Newcastle, it’s a certainty they’ll have had something to do with the outcome in this case."
