Manchester City have reportedly been left stunned at the Premier League suggesting they should collaborate with an Irish comedian who has previously mocked the club.
The Daily Mail are reporting the league wanted Conor Moore to visit City and do impressions with their players, with Moore being synonymous with impersonating famous faces.
In a sketch that seemingly irked City in the past, Moore wore a bald cap to imitate manager Pep Guardiola in a press conference mock-up where the Spaniard is asked about City making signings.
Moore then impersonates Guardiola answering the question by saying: “We have signed four barristers, eight lawyers and a judge,” referencing the alleged 115 breaches of the Premier League’s spending rules.
In another sketch, Moore, impersonating Guardiola, is seen at a dock with his hands cuffed as other Premier League managers give evidence.
We are still waiting for the verdict on the charges brought to City in February 2023 following a four-year investigation.
City have been accused of breaching financial regulations over an extended period and have been in a legal battle with the Premier League since September 2024.
The club have strenuously denied all charges against them.
If City are found guilty, a range of punishments have been touted including huge fines, points deductions or even relegation.
However, both sides will be able to appeal against the verdict, and a final punishment could drag on.
