an increasingly fixtures into an increasingly crowded calendar, the expansion of the champions league from 2024 — 25 will put additional pressures on players, and of course everybody wants to play in... audio cuts out evenif even if you expand the squad, they're going to be big challenges, which tournaments are going to be deemed a secondary interest to a club like manchester city. l deemed a secondary interest to a club like manchester city.- club like manchester city. i think back in 2008, — club like manchester city. i think back in 2008, sheikh _ club like manchester city. i think back in 2008, sheikh mansour. club like manchester city. i think i back in 2008, sheikh mansour took over manchester city, he is now the billionaire owner of that club. just how much money has he spent in the years since he has been in charge and where has that money been invested, by and large? i and where has that money been invested, by and large?- invested, by and large? i think robabl invested, by and large? i think probably hits _ invested, by and large? i think probably hits total _ invested, by and large? i think probably hits total investment | invested, by and large? i think. probably hits total investment is around about the one billion mark. some of that has gone in operation

in manchester city, and the club has broken even in recent years, and thatis broken even in recent years, and that is because they have a very good play selling market nonacademic and exit route because the plan... audio cuts out it has gone on the stadium expansion, but also on east manchester, areas of social deprivation, to create what is referred to as the etihad campus. improving influent prospects in the city of manchester itself.— city of manchester itself. there is obviously an _ city of manchester itself. there is obviously an elephant _ city of manchester itself. there is obviously an elephant in - city of manchester itself. there is obviously an elephant in the - city of manchester itself. there is | obviously an elephant in the room city of manchester itself. there is i obviously an elephant in the room at the moment with manchester city, we are focusing on their celebrations, but the club have been charged by the premier league with numerous alleged breaches of financial rules. can you talk us through what those

allegations are?— allegations are? there is 115 se arate allegations are? there is 115 separate charges, _ allegations are? there is 115 separate charges, but - allegations are? there is 115 separate charges, but i - allegations are? there is 115| separate charges, but i think allegations are? there is 115 - separate charges, but i think we can probably concentrate those down into three broad areas. first of all, the accusation that manchester city have received funding from the club owners and they have disguised that as commercial income, the reason for thatis as commercial income, the reason for that is under the financial fairplay rules which are profit —based approach, it is because without income. the first accusation is they've artificially increased income. the second as they have hidden costs by giving contracts to staff members for companies which are based in abu dhabi, orsimilar areas, and therefore what we have seen going 30 manchester city... thanks for your insights. can i keep you there for the moment? i would like to at this point bring back our guest. hoang truong.

i brought up some of the financial complications that man city are facing. can i ask, as a fan, is that something that concerns you? to be honest with — something that concerns you? to be honest with you. _ something that concerns you? to be honest with you, i _ something that concerns you? to be honest with you, i am _ something that concerns you? to be honest with you, i am probably - something that concerns you? to be honest with you, i am probably not the right— honest with you, i am probably not the right person to ask about things like that, _ the right person to ask about things like that, because i know, i do acknowledge the charges, i am not ignoring _ acknowledge the charges, i am not ignoring them, but i think that is something pretty city hierarchy to discuss, _ something pretty city hierarchy to discuss, i— something pretty city hierarchy to discuss, i trust the hierarchy, something pretty city hierarchy to discuss, itrust the hierarchy, i trust _ discuss, itrust the hierarchy, i trust the — discuss, itrust the hierarchy, i trust the lawyer team to do whatever is right _ trust the lawyer team to do whatever is right it _ trust the lawyer team to do whatever is right it is — trust the lawyer team to do whatever is right. it is concerning of course, _ is right. it is concerning of course, but at the same time we have been in _ course, but at the same time we have been in a _ course, but at the same time we have been in a situation with uefa any charges — been in a situation with uefa any charges were dropped, so i should not _ charges were dropped, so i should not i_ charges were dropped, so i should notm i put— charges were dropped, so i should not... i put all my trust in the hierarchy— not... i put all my trust in the hierarchy to _ not... i put all my trust in the hierarchy to get it all sorted, because _ hierarchy to get it all sorted, because pretty much they seem to know— because pretty much they seem to know what — because pretty much they seem to know what they are doing and they will be _ know what they are doing and they will be in _ know what they are doing and they will be in charge of more than i do. and if— will be in charge of more than i do. and if the _ will be in charge of more than i do. and if the club were to face penalties? if they had a points deduction, for example, later down

the road, is that something you would deem unfair when you consider the expenditures of other clubs in the expenditures of other clubs in the league? it the expenditures of other clubs in the league?— the league? it is really good question- — the league? it is really good question. for— the league? it is really good question. for me _ the league? it is really good | question. for me personally, the league? it is really good i question. for me personally, it is like, _ question. for me personally, it is like. the — question. for me personally, it is like, the way i see it, i have seen allthis, but— like, the way i see it, i have seen allthis, but i_ like, the way i see it, i have seen all this, but i don't know what the possible _ all this, but i don't know what the possible punishments are when it comes— possible punishments are when it comes to — possible punishments are when it comes to points drops or relegation of anything — comes to points drops or relegation of anything like that. i think that is something for the club to know themselves and differ merely to deal with. obviously that is a premier league _ with. obviously that is a premier league thing, not to do with ua. —— uefa _ league thing, not to do with ua. —— uefa i_ league thing, not to do with ua. —— uefa. i understand while these charges — uefa. i understand while these charges are brought, but me as a fan, _ charges are brought, but me as a fan. i_ charges are brought, but me as a fan. iani— charges are brought, but me as a fan, lam not charges are brought, but me as a fan, i am not concerned about it. i totally— fan, i am not concerned about it. i totally trust — fan, i am not concerned about it. i totally trust the hierarchy. ifi totally trust the hierarchy. if i can 'ust totally trust the hierarchy. if i canjust bring kieran back totally trust the hierarchy. ifl canjust bring kieran back in, you are talking us through what the charges were stop could you please explain a little bit in more detail what the potential penalties could

be as a result of this investigation and actually what is the timeline of this investigation? it and actually what is the timeline of this investigation?— this investigation? if we take a look at the _ this investigation? if we take a look at the premier _ this investigation? if we take a look at the premier league i this investigation? if we take a i look at the premier league handbook, there is no set thing in terms of there is no set thing in terms of the nature of the punishments, so we could go anywhere from a finger wagging to a salary cap, a squad size cap, then moving onto financial penalties, in terms of fines. and we've seen that with other clubs historically for dividing the more severe penalties would be a points deduction, the awarding of trophies historically and be taken away —— the more severe. those are more likely in practice. the timeline is, if you have 115 charges, you have 115 defences to put together, so talking to lawyers they think it is

going to take possibly up to two years, maybe even longer than that. we saw a queens park rangers casing 2014 was not resolved until 2018. it is going to be a slow and labourious process and inexpensive one... —— and expensive one. there is a school of thought that says it should be speeded up as possible. i just of thought that says it should be speeded up as possible. i 'ust want to oint speeded up as possible. i 'ust want to point out — speeded up as possible. i 'ust want to point out that i speeded up as possible. i 'ust want to point out that we i speeded up as possible. i 'ust want to point out that we are i speeded up as possible. ijust want to point out that we are seeing i speeded up as possible. ijust want to point out that we are seeing live i to point out that we are seeing live pictures now of the parade, the open top bus parade, leaving the man city players through manchester, has begun. nathan ake is holding the premier league trophy aloft. he is celebrating. there is another trophy being held aloft. i think erling haaland is on the front of the bus. we can see the bus is now finally making its way through the city centre, players absolutely soaking up centre, players absolutely soaking up the celebrations, realjoy from

the fans of a realjoy up the celebrations, realjoy from the fans of a real joy from the players. you can seejust the fans of a real joy from the players. you can see just how much it means to them. these trees are absolutely full, in spite of that weather —— the streets are. you can see it now, the heavy rain falling down, but people keeping the flags going, the party is still very much under way. that opens top bus parade is now working its way through the city. sorry that the pictures keep breaking up. that is a consequence of the weather conditions we are facing, it is a little hard to get good connectivity. we can see the back of some of the buses. there is the champions league trophy at the front of the bus being held aloft. i am not sure who is grasping it by the handle, but you can see some of the players. i think that could be jack grealish potentially at the back of the first bus and we can see confetti raining down on the players, the rain having absolutely

no impact on them at all, in terms of their overalljoy, and we can just see the kaymer going a little bit wider, you've got three bus—loads of squad, of people who work for the club —— the camera going. four buses, i think, work for the club —— the camera going. four buses, ithink, all of them crammed full of people celebrating manchester city's historic treble win. katie cornell, we can come back to you now, we are seeing these scenes ofjubilation on the streets of manchester —— katie gornall. such a journey for manchester city fans, who have seen their club through real lows and now going to these real highs. just how remarkable a turnaround is it for the club over these past years? i the club over these past years? i think it is really one of the most remarkable turnarounds in modern football, in a way, when you think between the mid—90s to, say, 2003,

this was a team that was stumbling around the divisions, they had had delegations, they had had promotions, they were in the third tier in 1999, and since the abu dhabi takeover by check monday or —— sheikh mansour, it has been a complete takeover of the club. the buses laden with trophies, and thing back to those times when city were in the third tier, when they were playing the likes of wycombe can awaken, there they went up in 1999, they missed out on automatic motion and faced a tense time in the

playoff final, scoring two late goals to win the playoff final against gillingham... the way they have developed the club since ten, developed the club since ten, develop that part of manchester as well, and remain embedded in the community, all of that, they revolutionised every aspect of it. i don't think any fan that was following the club all those years ago, and there were obvious many of them, even when they were in the third tier, they were pulling crowds of tens of thousands, 30,000 sometimes, i don't think those fans could have envisaged quite where they would in the up all those years on. there

has been this _ in the up all those years on. there has been this financial _ in the up all those years on. there has been this financial backing i in the up all those years on. there has been this financial backing they have received, they've been able to bring in the players to bolster their ranks, they have... we saw in their ranks, they have... we saw in the final kevin de bruyne go off injured, able to bring in a substitute as strong as phil foden. clearly they have such a strength in depth, that is partly why they have done so well this season, but are there any individual players you would .2, katie, and individual stars or performers who have been crucial to their achieving this treble feet this season? i think what is interesting _ treble feet this season? i think what is interesting is _ treble feet this season? i think what is interesting is players . treble feet this season? i think. what is interesting is players like haaland obviously get all the headlines, don't they? but in terms of this season, of who has really stood out, for some, i thinkjohn stones is one of the stories of this season, the man they call the bardsley beckenbauer —— barnsley

beckenbauer. the evolution ofjohn stones has been fascinating. we have seen him deployed in a different role this season from a central defender into a midfielder, almost playing as a number eight, wasn't he the indie champions league final, making those runs and putting the ball through? he has been employed as a deep lying midfielder and he has put in some of the eye—catching performances this season, and i think that is interesting when you think that is interesting when you think back to a few years ago, when he was out of the team, he was the fifth choice centre—back, the fifth choice defender at one point, and had lost his england place, so to see how he has flourished again under pep guardiola and become such an integral part of the team, i think, is one of the stories of the season for many city fans. i heard the beckenbauer _ season for many city fans. i heard the beckenbauer persons - season for many city fans. i heard the beckenbauer persons myself, | season for many city fans. i heard i the beckenbauer persons myself, and he was remarkable on the night, so much composure on the ball, pushing forward from really unusual spaces.

you mentioned pep guardiola there and you mentioned stones, how he has improved so much. does that speak to guardiola's ability as a coach to nurture players, to demand greatness of them and get greatness out of them? i think it does. when you hear the players talk about pep guardiola, they talk about him being an innovator, seeing football in a different way, predicting things in a game even that they never would have thought would happen, and when they're in a match, they know how to deal with those situations because pep guardiola has told them how the game would unfold. his coaching is quite remarkable, his work ethic is legendary within the game, and it is notjust legendary within the game, and it is not just that he legendary within the game, and it is notjust that he takes great players and makes them greater, he takes players that are maybe off the radar for a lot of people and turns them into vital cogs in this great city winning machine. one player that

brings to mind is akanji, the swiss defender who started last night. he was a journeymen centre—half, really, in the bundesliga, going from club to club. he was a player who was signed from germany before deadline day and it was a deal that went under the radar in some senses, just £15 million, and now he has come in, he has got a champions league winning battle, he is a treble winner. it is quite remarkable. and there are stories like that alter the team. we remarkable. and there are stories like that alter the team.— remarkable. and there are stories like that alter the team. we can see some of the — like that alter the team. we can see some of the live _ like that alter the team. we can see some of the live pictures, _ like that alter the team. we can see some of the live pictures, there i like that alter the team. we can see some of the live pictures, there are| some of the live pictures, there are some of the live pictures, there are some players making it a little bit difficult to pick out. —— some players. is that rodri on the front of the open top bus? i can see two of the open top bus? i can see two of the open top bus? i can see two of the trophies. ruben diaz is holding the premier league trophy, you can see here on the very front of the bus, there is... holding the

champions a trophy aloft near us. all three trophies, fa cup, premier league and champions league trophy, now on display. aymeric laporte is holding up the fa cup. confetti cannons shooting off the top of that bus. fans pack to the surrounding streets. it looks like the weather is holding up pretty moment, and this is a cliche we have repeated over and over again, their spirits have not been dampened by that dodgy weather. we can see more confetti cannons exploding off the top of that bus from the play usually partying hard, soaking up there historic treble success, the fa cup, the premier league committee champions league, all in a single season. probably quite sweetly matching the achievement of their arch local rivals man u in 1999.

city are now able to claim the same glory. it has been a remarkable season for a team win, as i mentioned, manchester city back in 1999, at the same time city were lingering in the leaks avril below manchester united, so for an evolution to take place in the last 24 years, where they see themselves, they would argue, at the very top of world football, has been a remarkable evolution —— lingering in the leaks below. relishing every moment of it. you can see the fans there waving their flags, soaking up there waving their flags, soaking up the cheers of the players on top of the cheers of the players on top of the bus. what we can see is the open top bus parade partying for manchester. we had expected to come earlier in the day. i apologise, we just lost connection, probably in relation to the weather we are

seeing out in manchester, but we can now speak to katie gornall again. katie, the team has achieved so much this season. do you think there will be an expect tatian for them to achieve even more next season? is that even possible —— and expectation for them? i that even possible -- and expectation for them? i think you talk about the _ expectation for them? i think you talk about the work _ expectation for them? i think you talk about the work ethic - expectation for them? i think you talk about the work ethic of i expectation for them? i think you talk about the work ethic of the i talk about the work ethic of the team, the money they have behind them, the manager that they have, and you say, how could they improve? 0f and you say, how could they improve? of course i will be the first thing that guardiola will be thinking once he is elevated this, once he is drawn a line under it, so to speak, he will be thinking, how can he improve next season, what extra candy get out of the team? you have to it was not a perfect premier league season for manchester city? backin league season for manchester city? back in february, when things are not going so well to them, when they

lost to spurs, when they were truly arsenal at eight points at one point, would you have thought they would be back i , re—group after the workup and get the treble? would you if not then that they would come together in the way they did and gone on this incredible run and won the premier league title, manchester united in the fa cup final and won the champions league? go t—level perhaps look back and think about how he could make tiny adjustments and tiny improvements —— guardiola perhaps would look back. you think for manchester city now, they have dominated so much to my sickly — candid outgoing dominate on the europe stage? that is what they will be thinking. europe stage? that is what they will be thinkina. . ,, europe stage? that is what they will be thinkina. . , ., ,, be thinking. tankss, katie. stay there.

also in manchester for the parade is sam lee, he is the manchester city reporter for the athletic. we were just talking about how they did not have a perfect season, trailing in the premier league, in the final against milan, they were not playing as well as some expected them to. many people what it expected them to cruise through. that was obviously not the case. does the manners of their victories, the way they have managed to grind out this season and eventually end “p out this season and eventually end up on top, does that make it all the more impressive? i up on top, does that make it all the more impressive?— up on top, does that make it all the more impressive? i suppose it shows a different way _ more impressive? i suppose it shows a different way to _ more impressive? i suppose it shows a different way to win _ more impressive? i suppose it shows a different way to win for— a different way to win for manchester city and there's probably... it probably proves what pep guardiola has been saying is the biggest _ pep guardiola has been saying is the biggest different this season. we have been asking him every week and oppress _ have been asking him every week and oppress compasses about erling haaland~ — oppress compasses about erling haaland. he looks like the biggest difference maker the season. rhodiola, when he was asked about that a _ rhodiola, when he was asked about that a couple of months ago, he said the biggest _ that a couple of months ago, he said the biggest difference is the defenders. he went back to the four

yourjob. does that give you any special insight into the character of the man, what makes him so able to drive players on, to have that desire to win, to work together to do what seems almost impossible? i hope so! that is what i am employed to do! _ hope so! that is what i am employed to do! i_ hope so! that is what i am employed to do! i do _ hope so! that is what i am employed to do! i do think it is a major underrated part of his skill set as a manager, — underrated part of his skill set as a manager, to be able to motivate these _ a manager, to be able to motivate these players year after year. very few premier league teams have successfully defended trophies. sir alex ferguson was able to do it. jose mourinho did it once, that is it. jose mourinho did it once, that is it only— jose mourinho did it once, that is it. only pep — jose mourinho did it once, that is it. only pep rhodiola along with those _ it. only pep rhodiola along with those two to manage players to come back after— those two to manage players to come back after winning and do it again. we have _ back after winning and do it again. we have seen, if it is liverpool, they— we have seen, if it is liverpool, they had — we have seen, if it is liverpool, they had a — we have seen, if it is liverpool, they had a bit of a job, they've also _ they had a bit of a job, they've also had — they had a bit of a job, they've also had leicester not being of jesus — —— being able to sustain that level. chelsea _ —— being able to sustain that level. chelsea not — —— being able to sustain that level.

joining us and sharing your insights. we were expecting the open top osprey to get going earlier in the day, there has augusti been a delay. that is on account of the weather conditions —— open topless parade for subletting strikes around the city centre. that is why, for health and safety reasons, the parade has been pushed back. for an update on the weather, we are now able to speak to louise lear from the bbc weather team. hi there, i tell you what, quite literally it was trying to rain on the parade? 3c} was trying to rain on the parade? 7501 degrees manchester, was trying to rain on the parade? 7522 degrees manchester, it was really humid, take a look at this. hardly a cloud in the sky to begin with and then the thunderstorms arrived. this is literally the last few hours, and you can see how widespread those later storms are. very lucky to be able to get the parade on the way as early as they did, really, because

there is to plenty of thunderstorms in the area, still plenty of sharp showers to come, i am afraid, but they will start to ease. yes, it is under way, they will start to ease. yes, it is underway, but they will start to ease. yes, it is under way, but i suspect they're going to quite a lot of partying in the streets of manchester the early hours and you will be pleased to hear that this is when the computer models suggest the rain will clear away. 20 more thunderstorms for the next hour or so. . ~' thunderstorms for the next hour or so. . ~ , ., thunderstorms for the next hour or so. . ~ ,. -- thunderstorms for the next hour or so-_ -- 20 _ thunderstorms for the next hour or so-_ -- 20 more- - thunderstorms for the next hour or so-_ -- 20 more-- so. thank you. -- 20 more. the difficult weather _ so. thank you. -- 20 more. the difficult weather proofing i so. thank you. -- 20 more. the difficult weather proofing and i so. thank you. -- 20 more. the i difficult weather proofing and issue earlier in the day. i think we are on top of one of those open top buses going through the city centre, people shaking their fists, getting each of the pumped up, having a serious party, a sea of sky—blue in the city, fans clearly pumped up. soaking up the atmosphere. their hearers have come home, they've delivered the goods on three separate fronts, the premier league,

the fa cup and then on saturday, defeating inter milan from the champions league, a historic win for the club, a historic treble, matching of course that treble achieved by their rivals manchester united in 1999, which i'm sure makes this year's achievements all the sweeter. we can see now i believe what are the live pictures on a stage, on oxford street in the centre of manchester, so the buses that we can see are making their way gradually through the streets and they are going to end up at that stage. i think we can see some of the route that the bus is taking. we can see it is outside in marks & spencer, in fact, can see it is outside in marks & spencer, infact, in can see it is outside in marks & spencer, in fact, in the city. they will be making their way through, making their way to a stage near oxford street where they will come to the stage, presumably the squad, the manager, and they will lift their trophies and celebrate with their trophies and celebrate with their fans. their trophies and celebrate with theirfans. i think we believe

their trophies and celebrate with their fans. i think we believe a norway flag, erling haaland of course more than 50 goals this season of the golden boot winner, in this year's champions league, he has played such an integral part of their cheese —— success —— success this year. you can seal it means to defence the fans on the upper tier of that shopping complex, waiting to the people lucky enough to get on the bus. this doesn't look like players on the bus, may be lucky friends and family celebrate with them. we are keeping across all of those five pictures as the fans and players soak up the atmosphere full we can show you some pictures from earlier. there you can see a candy full we can show you some pictures from earlier. there you can see a candy and i think that is kyle walker on the left, phil foden on the right, showing off the premier league and the champions league trophy —— akanji. erling haaland, he has had a absolutely monstrous season. more than 50 goals. he has claimed the golden boot in the champions league. jack grealish, he looks i
