Of important note here: some club wage bills per accounts differ to figures they report for PSR/SCR purposes
Manchester City's wage bill in UEFA reports is routinely higher than that per accounts - £63m higher(!) in 2023-24 - so #MCFC were likely still highest payers in 2024-25

The arrest of Greta Thunberg for peacefully opposing genocide and supporting those on hunger strike is wrongful and disturbing.
This is yet another shocking example of the UK’s broad terrorism laws being used to target those exercising their right to freedom of expression and assembly rights.
