hello and welcome to sportsday this monday night with me chetan pathak live from the bbc sport centre, coming up on the programme... the hearing into manchester city's charges for alleged breaches of the premier league's financial rules begins. over a0 years after they last played in europe's elite club competition — aston villa prepare for their opening game of this season's champions league. glasgow to the rescue — the scottish government is on the verge of agreeing a deal to host a scaled down commonwealth games in 2026. also coming up on sportsday before 7... the former racing driver trying to become the fastest double amputee to complete the ironman world championship — we hearfrom billy monger.
6:32 pm
welcome along, thank you forjoining us — on the day an independent commission has begun its hearing into manchester city's alleged breaches of premier league financial rules. the club denies all charges. if found guilty they could be fined, have points deducted or worst case even be relegated. 0ur sports editor dan roan is at the etihad stadium for us — dan, it's been quite some wait. city referred to an independent commission back in february last year, just remind us what the charges are. year, just remind us what the charges are-— year, just remind us what the charges are. year, just remind us what the charues are. , " charges are. they were hit with 115 char: es, charges are. they were hit with 115 charges. back _ charges are. they were hit with 115 charges, back in _ charges are. they were hit with 115 charges, back in february- charges are. they were hit with 115 charges, back in february of- charges are. they were hit with 115 charges, back in february of last l charges, back in february of last year. which related to the 1a seasons after abu dhabi takeover
6:33 pm
backin seasons after abu dhabi takeover back in 2008 which transformed its fortunes, turned it into one of the richest clubs in the world. amid those charges are a large group that effectively accused the club of failing to provide accurate financial information. the premier league left the charge sheet very general but they relate to allegations that first surfaced in 2018 that effectively say that manchester city channelled equity funding orfunding manchester city channelled equity funding or funding from manchester city channelled equity funding orfunding from their manchester city channelled equity funding or funding from their owner via sponsorship revenue so they made it look as if sponsors were paying more than they actually were, in effect. city denied that charge among others, but i think that the principal one. as well as that, they stand accused of failing to provide accurate information with regards to payments to both former manager alberto mancini, and players as well. of breaking the financial
6:34 pm
rules of both ua for and indeed the premier league, and finally, there's around 35 charges that relate to a failure to cooperate with the premier league's four year—long investigation. city have contested all of the charges, they say hey they have a body of irrefutable evidence that will help clear their names and today is a really pivotal moment in this long—running saga that's been going on now for several years. it was back in 2018 as i say, that the investigation first began and today was the first day of an independent premier league arbitration commission hearing that's taking place in central london, shrouded in secrecy because these processes are confidential, we haven't even been told who makes up the three panel that will adjudicate, but there is a huge amount writing on this, for sure. that hearing is finally under way, but anyone hoping for a swift outcome to this is going to be

6:36 pm
compromise, some kind of arrangement or deal may be reached because the legal bill is spiralling, tens of millions of pounds it's estimated to have cost both sides already, and it may well be that at some stage, some kind of arrangement is reached, but i think as it stands, if this runs its course, it's very hard to say. could go to an appeal, at least one round of appeals so it could spread well into next year and given it's been growing for several years that wouldn't be a surprise.— wouldn't be a surprise. whatever ha--ens wouldn't be a surprise. whatever happens then. — wouldn't be a surprise. whatever happens then, whatever - wouldn't be a surprise. whatever happens then, whatever the - wouldn't be a surprise. whatever - happens then, whatever the outcome, not everyone is going to be happy and then it might not even be the end. what are the potential ramifications? i end. what are the potential ramifications?— end. what are the potential ramifications? ~ ., . , ramifications? i think for the club, actuall if ramifications? i think for the club, actually if they _ ramifications? i think for the club, actually if they were _ ramifications? i think for the club, actually if they were to _ ramifications? i think for the club, actually if they were to be - ramifications? i think for the club, actually if they were to be found i actually if they were to be found guilty of the most serious charges, experts have said that given that the panel has any sanction at their disposal, potential punishments could range from hefty fines through two major points deductions, people talking about potentially 50—100 points being deducted, all the way
6:37 pm
through to expulsion from the premier league, it would throw the club into uncertainty in terms of manager certainty, pep guardiola, and others. it would leave them open to compensation claims to clubs that argue maybe they lost out on titles, prize money, qualifications for europe for example during this period of unprecedented domination that manchester city have been enjoying since the abu dhabi takeover. if found guilty, they would be associated with a major financial scandal. having said that, again, they deny wrongdoing. they say they are confident of success and the premier league as well there's a lot resting for this at a time when they are facing scrutiny over the regulation.— time when they are facing scrutiny over the regulation. we'll it there. our 's boats _ over the regulation. we'll it there. our 's boats sports _ over the regulation. we'll it there. our 's boats sports editor, - over the regulation. we'll it there. our 's boats sports editor, dan - 0ur �*s boats sports editor, dan roan, at the eddie had. the new look champions league starts tomorrow. manchester city, celtic, arsenal, liverpool and aston villa — more on them in a moment —
6:38 pm
all play their opening matches this week. the format of the competion is totally different now, with more teams and more games. here's sam harris to explain. the 2024-25 the 2024—25 season brings a new format for the men's ua for champions league, and it's a bigger change then fans are used to. more teams, board games, and a single league table placing in the initial structure which has been in place since 19 at one. it will be expanded from 32 to 36 teams, every team will be drawn against a different opponent, two of each of the four seat, will play four matches at home and for a way. it will stretch beyond christmas, culminating in an epic 18 game finale on wednesday the 29th of january. teams that finish the league phase qualify directly for the round of 16, teams ranked nine to 2a will face each other in a
6:39 pm
knockout round to face the top eight in the top 16. 25—36 are eliminated from all competitions. in the knockout phase, it's business as usual, all ties are contested both home and away culminating with a single leg final, you have to hope the new formats which also forms the basis of the leagues, all matches between equally ranked teams will enjoy it more top clashes right from the first match day. so there you have it, a big change for your�*s elite club football competition. the long wait for champions league football is nearly over for aston villa — this time tomorrow they'll have kicked off in switzerland against young boys. the last time they played in europe's elite club competition was 1983 — a year after they'd won the tournament. today it was announced that one of the players that helped them lift the trophy, gary shaw, has died at the age of 63. joe lynskey reports. the european cup look different in

6:43 pm
unhappy with their performance in the north london derby. i've been speaking to tottenham fan and content creator davina pindoria who was at yesterday's game. obviously we were a set piece which is something we've seen time and time again. the 3—2 loss last season, three of the goals came from corners, it absolutely baffles me why we haven't worked on correcting that, knowing her arsenal are such prolific goal scorers from set pieces, the last season they scored 22 goals which is the premier league high and we have been notoriously really bad at defending them. but overall on the pitch, they are really an efficient style of football and freefalling attacking highland requires us to put every chance we get in the back of the net, it's like we are re—watching so many games from last season and it's

6:45 pm
that and i'm buying into the project, it's a second—tier and i think it's harsh calling for him to be sacked over only four games into the season. to be sacked over only four games into the season-— the season. to the fans that say nothin: the season. to the fans that say nothing will _ the season. to the fans that say nothing will change _ the season. to the fans that say nothing will change as _ the season. to the fans that say nothing will change as long i the season. to the fans that say nothing will change as long as i nothing will change as long as daniel leavy is of the talk was as fans, all we can do is voice our concerns about how the club is managed. concerns about how the club is managed-— concerns about how the club is manaaed. ., ., , managed. the board of always said the want managed. the board of always said they want to _ managed. the board of always said they want to see _ managed. the board of always said they want to see success _ managed. the board of always said they want to see success on - managed. the board of always said they want to see success on it i managed. the board of always said they want to see success on it off l they want to see success on it off they want to see success on it off the pitch, i think in recent years players that have been identified that will work to his system, we've gone out and bought those players. i would like to see more consistency perhaps, we have to show some serious ambition with the players that we are signing. next tonight — to what might well be the best publicised league one game ever. it's notjust birmingham city against wrexham tonight. oh, no. it's being billed as the hollywood derby. actors ryan reynolds and rob mcelhenney bought wrexham four years ago and have transformed the club's fortunes,
6:46 pm
whilst american football legend tom brady has a small stake in birmingham. there'll be plenty of eyes on this evening's game in the us and beyond. it's just interesting the way football has moved, the way football has changed. here we are in league one, monday night is the only game on tv, and we are sold out. we sold out tickets very, very quickly. tom brady is a, to your point, iconic superstar and of course mr reynolds and mr mcelhenney represent wrexham. i think the most important thing about that is for the efl, it's a great night because it puts them on the map as well. the world will watch wrexham versus birmingham city at st. andrews, i think that's the compelling issue. there is some suggestion this
6:47 pm
game would be played in the united states, was that ever likely? personally, i think that's a great idea. but i think the efl wouldn't see it that way and i think the history and the tradition of our sport and our league tries to ensure that that doesn't happen. but that doesn't stop, that doesn't stop making it a global game, even though you're playing here in birmingham and everyone is looking forward to it, did not meaning to say it's not going to be a big game. the chances of northern ireland hosting matches at euro 2028 appear to be over. five games were due to be played at casement park stadium in belfast — but the uk government will no longer be funding the redevelopment of the stadium because of rising costs and says there's a "significant risk" it won't be built in time. mark sidebottom reports.
6:48 pm
casement part, the home of gaelic games here in the city of belfast has been derelict for over a decade, and the project to have a rebuild has just been bedeviled and the project to have a rebuild hasjust been bedeviled by and the project to have a rebuild has just been bedeviled by setback after setback and this one is the very latest in a long, long list. have a renewed hope to hear of the construction of a modern new stadium in the west of the city. the construction of a modern new stadium in the west of the city.— in the west of the city. the rising cost of the _ in the west of the city. the rising cost of the project _ in the west of the city. the rising cost of the project along - in the west of the city. the rising cost of the project along with i cost of the project along with inertia since the bid was confirmed, have no cause to rethink. the government says the latest estimate of over £4 million and an tightening deadline related to counsel its share of funding for the project. other parties involved include the irish football association and gaelic athletic association. it still hopes northern ireland can be involved in the euros in some way or another, perhaps posting training camps. it was always going to be exceptionally difficult for the stadium to be ready in time for euro
6:49 pm
2028. but that he will now engage with the gaa and others about the future of redeveloping casement part. meanwhile, the five games earmarked for euro 2028 here in belfast it seems will be redistributed across the uk at venues including dublin, wimbley, wales and scotland. time now for some of the day's other sport stories, and england's all—time leading test wicket—takerjames anderson is a surprise target for major league cricket in the united states. senior figures at at least one mlc team are understood to be interested in signing anderson, who said last month that he wouldn't rule out a return to white—ball cricket. katie boulter and emma raducanu have both been named in the british team for november's billiejean king cup finals in malaga, alongside harriet dart, heather watson and olivia nicholls. sonay kartal could yet force her way into the team, after winning her first wta title in tunisia at the weekend. the 37th america's cup continued
6:50 pm
in barcelona today with ben ainslie and the british ineous brttiania team swiss team alinghi red bull — one more win to reach final the louis vuitton cup semi—finals. they lost today's race to the swiss team, with a lack of wind hindering the race. they may face new zealand in the event's showpiece. the scottish government is on the verge of agreeing a dealfor glasgow to host the commonwealth games in 2026. they were supposed to take place in victoria, australia, but the state pulled out last year because of rising costs. so it's scotland to the rescue — and for paralympic champion sammi kinghorn who's competed at three commonwealth games — that's welcome news. we that would be incredible. my first senior, international was glasgow 2014 and i think i came
6:51 pm
fifth or sixth and i would love to do one better in glasgow, that would be incredible. so glasgow in position to host the commonwealth games again, just as it did in 2014. but as our correspodent chris mclaughlin says, this is set to be a scaled down event featuring fewer sports. it has been a frantic few days in relation to the story. i'm told just last week the chances of this happening work 50/50 at best, things have moved on significantly over the weekend primarily due to the offer of millions of pounds from commonwealth games australia to get this over the line. remember, the state of victoria pulled out due to financial concerns, now that injection of cash has seemed to satisfy our nervous scottish government that are adamant no public money would be spent this time around. now, the scottish government had a conversation with commonwealth games australia this
6:52 pm
morning and told that meeting did very well, it should be rectified in some way tomorrow, probably announcement at some point tomorrow afternoon. no, what will glasgow 2026 look like? it will be a scaled—down games, just ten sports compared to the 17 ten years ago, we will also be a lot cheaper. £114 million compared to the over £500 million compared to the over £500 million less time. it's a new blueprint, it's a new commonwealth games but looks like they are heading back to glasgow in 2026. the head of world athletics — lord coe has been named as one of the confirmed candidates to become the next president of the international olympic committee. coe is one of seven people under consideration to succeed thomas bach — who will step down next year. coe, a two—time olympic champion, is up against the likes ofjuan antonio samaranchjunior, whose father was the ioc president for 21 years. the election will take

6:57 pm
conditions first thing in the morning. now on the satellite picture, we can see this swirling mass of cloud — that is storm boris, that has continued to bring some heavy rain across central parts of europe. but we have an area of high pressure in charge, keeping things largely dry. many places will see clear skies overnight tonight. there's even a small chance of seeing the aurora borealis — the northern lights. but we will have more cloud in the mix across the north and the west of scotland, a bit of rain there moving across orkney and shetland. further south, those clear skies, some fog patches most likely across parts of east wales, into the midlands, perhaps up into northern england, as well. temperatures will dip away — towns and cities around 5—6 celsius, some spots in the countryside i think could get quite close to freezing, say, across parts of northern england. some early fog across parts of wales, the midlands, up into northern england, that will tend to clear, then we'll see lots of sunshine through the day tomorrow. a bit more cloud into the south—east corner, where it will be quite breezy. could just see the odd light shower
6:58 pm
across kent and sussex. also more cloud rolling in across the western and northern isles, withjust the odd spot of rain — some of that cloud quite low, could be quite misty and murky across, say, parts of shetland. but the north of mainland scotland, up to around 23 celsius — it will be a warm day tomorrow. that warm theme continues into the middle part of the week, and actually, the cloud in northern scotland is set to retreat northwards. could see a bit more in the way of low cloud, maybe some mistiness rolling in from the north sea. so, some patchy cloud here and there on wednesday, perhaps most especially across england and wales, northern ireland and scotland seeing a lot of sunshine, but it is a nice—looking day. quite breezy down towards the south — that mightjust take the edge off the temperatures, but still, 24 there in london, 23 across parts of northern scotland. as we head towards the end of the week, our area of high pressure is set to shift northwards, and this low swirling across iberia mayjust start to have an influence — it might bring more in the way of showers into parts of england and wales, maybe northern ireland, as well, perhaps the odd thunderstorm.
