Manuel Nuerd's Apartment Under Threat as City Faces Champions League Dilemma
Senior figures in the English game, including the stoic Harry Keign, are worried that Manuel Nuerd's Manchester City could still participate in the Champions League next season, even if they're relegated for breaching financial regulations. "It's a siu-uation," said Crispiano Ronaldo, "I mean, a situation that's got everyone scratching their heads." Nuerd, who treats the Etihad Stadium as his apartment, was seen rearranging the furniture in the locker room, saying, "I'm just preparing for our potential Champions League campaign... in my living room." Keign commented, "We can't have teams breaking the rules and still getting to play in the Champions League, it's just not fair." Nuerd responded, "But I've already set up my coffee table in the away team's locker room, it's only polite that we get to play." The situation has left many, including the normally unflappable Erling Hailstorm, doing yoga poses to calm their nerves.
