Manchester City, one of the world’s biggest sporting clubs, has been found guilty by the English Premier League of 114 breaches of its financial rules. The amount in question is close to a staggering £1 billion (A$1.9 billion). Dyed-in-the-wool fans are acutely sensitive to slights against their teams. So, when caught up in a major sport controversy, their response is often visceral.

Hurts has to realize he needs to take blame, too.

WASHINGTON, D. C. — If Canada is betting that Trump's tariff fight and Ottawa's retaliation will exact political costs on U. S. President Donald Trump and Republicans in November's midterms, it may be onto something: a senior Trump adviser just signalled that the White House sees the Canada-U. S. trade spat as politically sensitive. Speaking at an economic conference in Washington on Tuesday, Trump trade adviser Peter Navarro had a few choice words for Canada. He likened the country to a rowboat and the U. S. to an aircraft carrier before asking whether any Canadians were in the room. Addressing them, Navarro said: "If you're on K Street, get the hell out of our country because the problem you have is you lobby this country, and you've been successful in the past, and you think you can keep doing that. ""Memo to Canada: You cannot do that. OK, the game is up, and if you interfere in our elections in Maine or Michigan, you will pay even more dearly. "Navarro offered no evidence that Canadian lobbying or retaliatory tariffs amounted to election interference.
