The United Arab Emirates has threatened to withdraw billions of pounds of investment from Manchester over Man City's guilty verdict in the sham contracts scandal. The move came after Andy Burnham faced a backlash over a statement he made seeming to express sympathy for the club's owners. The entire ordeal has brought renewed scrutiny onto the Prime Minister's ties to the UAE, and their role in Manchester's growth under his leadership. Lewis Goodall speaks to Joshi Herrmann, Journalist at the Manchester Mill, and David Bernstein, Former Chair of The Football Association and Manchester City Football Club. #lewisgoodall #mancity #andyburnham #footballnews #ukpolitics #manchester #uae #LBC #115charges #premierleague #footballnews
