“What a shame!” Jose Mourinho’s response to Manchester City’s FFP suspension judgment spoke it all.

He was addressing potential charges with the club facing Financial Fair Play (FFP) sanctions from UEFA, which City had overturned by the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS).

City have been among those to invest heavily, but may have finally been caught out after a four-year long investigation saw them charged by the Premier League.

He previously said: “In relation to the decision, in any case, it’s a disgraceful decision.
