How are Man City fans supposed to feel?

THE ATHLETIC
About this episode

Manchester City supporters are facing a new reality - their club has been vilified since The Athletic revealed they had been found guilty of almost all the Premier League charges relating to financial breaches nearly two weeks ago.


So how do their fans feel about it? And how has their relationship with the club changed, if at all?


Two of The Athletic's resident City supporters - Jack Pitt-Brooke and Thom Harris - join Emma Paton to debate and discuss their conflicting feelings.


Plus, The Athletic's Jacob Whitehead drops by to talk about one of the other big side plots to this story - Rui Pinto - the Portuguese whistleblower who gained access to Manchester City's servers, leaking emails and documents that prompted the Premier League's investigation.


Host: Emma Paton

Co-hosts: Jack Pitt-Brooke, Thom Harris

Featuring: Jacob Whitehead
