Jamie Carragher explained that Man City’s Abu Dhabi owners, who deny all charges and are appealing, won’t and simply ‘can’t back down’ because all of this is a ‘PR’ game for them.Speaking on The Overlap, Carragher explained how owners such as FSG of Liverpool are in it to ‘make money’, but those inside the Etihad, who have ‘all the power’ and ‘all the money’ in the world, are doing it for ‘sportswashing’ and ‘PR’ reasons. Carragher admitted that Man City have ‘transformed’ parts of their city, but being charged by the Premier League is an ‘absolute disaster’ for them, but not for footballing reasons.Nobody yet knows what the punishment will be, but throughout this long-winded period, Man City have remained firm in their stance that they are not guilty of all charges thrown at them.However, former Liverpool defender Carragher explained how the image of Abu Dhabi is now being damaged, so they have no choice but to take this stance.



They want Liverpool to do well, but they have come to make money. They have all the power in the world.

They have all the money in the world. That’s what it was all about.“So, this is an absolute disaster for them, because for the last ten years they have transformed a part of Manchester.
