For all the brouhaha around Manchester City and their alleged misconduct, nobody in football wants them neutered like a dog.
I spoke to a handful of owners to establish the mood. While there is a desire for City to face consequences if they are found guilty of the charges brought by the Premier League, there is no witch-hunt.
You might think there's jealousy because of the money they have deployed in becoming the most handsome team in the best league. There isn't. Pep Guardiola might think so, but his views are also misplaced.
