The massive financial investigation that deeply shook the English Premier League arena and the relegation possibility of the Manchester City team awakened a great echo in the football world. Upon all this chaotic process, The Athletic writer David Ornstein put his signature under very striking statements. The successful writer expressed with a clear language that exactly 115 different financial violation charges the club faced and this deep uncertainty reached an unbearable point. Ornstein argued that that hostile attitude, boos, and that historic reference made with inflatable bananas the Liverpool fans showed to the Manchester City players at the Anfield stadium was just a simple beginning. The famous journalist stated that the current situation was not pleasant at all for the players and the Manchester City team would face this heavy picture in every away game it would go in the fixture. The experienced writer, who warned that that high tension in the stands would spread to every stadium on the island in a short time, underlined that this great problem had to be resolved in a very urgent manner. The continuous delay of the final decision in this tough case conducted by the independent commission gave a massive damage to that general transparency, sense of justice, and brand value of the league. Ornstein, who repeated that historic call of his to the English football authorities, conveyed to his readers that this massive crisis even got ahead of the football played on the pitch. The writer, who defended that an absolute verdict was a must anymore for the elimination of those massive question marks formed in minds, emphasized that as the process prolonged, the matches turned into a massive protest area rather than a football competition. These harsh and realistic determinations of the expert writer saw a very great support in the entire island press and fan groups.
