Man City compared to company behind one of biggest financial scandals ever and accused of HIDING losses by LaLiga chief
MANCHESTER City have been accused of an “Enron-style” financial deception by Spanish LaLiga boss Javier Tebas.
Outspoken Tebas stunned an audience in London as he claimed the Etihad outfit had hidden losses that would have impacted their financial fair play status by hiding them in related Abu Dhabi-owned companies.
Manchester City have dismissed the claims as “without foundation”.
Tebas directly referenced the Enron scandal, which saw the US energy giant hit with a £40billion fraud claim in 2001 and led to the collapse of a major accounting firm and the jailing of senior executives.
The Spaniard told the FT Business of Football Summit: “The City case is one where we believe they have put the losses on the companies that are not officially part of City Football Group.
“You remember the case in the USA, the Enron case. They put losses into different companies. These are similar cases.
“They have a scouting company, a marketing company. That’s where they have very high expenses. They invoice City for less money.
“City have costs that are less than if they didn’t have this circle of companies around.
“These other companies lose the money but not the club itself.
“If you have these high expenses and the companies lose money eventually City will lose money.

“But they have structural costs that are being carried by the companies around them, which are used to avoid the regulations.”
Tebas’ claims brought an angry reaction from City, who privately dismissed any allegations as without foundation and could even bring legal action.
The Prem champions argue Tebas has a long history of attacking the club and refused to comment.
But they strongly refute the allegations and pointed to their accounts as proof of no wrongdoing which are a matter of public record.
Despite that, La Liga detailed a formal complaint against City they made to the European Commission in 2023 accusing the club of causing a “serious distortion” in the football market.
Tebas added that LaLiga believed City’s Abu Dhabi owners had used their wealth to illegally bolster the club’s competitive position.
He said: “We also reported City over sponsorship and capital contributions.
“Normally in Europe the competition sanction if you receive state aid that distorts the market is that you have to return the public aid to the state plus other sanctions.
“We presented our complaint to the EU. It is in the investigation phase.
“We’ve not had a reply but it must be under investigation. The EU have lots of other cases, not just this one.
“The problem is City, the club and the companies they manage, not Abu Dhabi or Sheikh Mansour.
“We believe they are not fulfilling FFP rules, rules that bring integrity to competitions, so everybody must comply with them, on and off the pitch.”
I transformed my dump of a bathroom into a luxe modern space for a bargain £4 – the flooring cost a QUID from Poundland
A SAVVY WOMAN has shared how she transformed her bathroom using two bargain buys.
Faye Jay, from the UK, shared her simple bathroom DIY on YouTube and people were left stunned by the transformation.
In the clip, she said: “My bathroom is a s**thole at the minute.”
Faye showed what her bathroom looked like prior to the transformation and it was clearly lived in.
The white walls were covered in marks from her children, while the bath tiles were covered in stubborn mould that even bleach couldn’t get rid of.
Faye’s bathroom lacked any storage, so all of her hygiene products were on her windowsill or bath sides, making it look cluttered.
The mum started by cleaning the bathroom before getting on with painting the walls.
She decided to add a touch of colour using a dark green paint from Poundland for just £3.
“It is a small tin, but someone in the comments said that it goes quite a long way,” she added.
Once Faye had finished painting the walls she moved on to updating her outdated beige floor.
She managed to pick up a few packs of vinyl floor tiles, which cost £1 each.
The savvy woman picked them up in a gorgeous white and black pattern and they were simple to install as she just unpeeled the pack and stuck them down.
Next, the mum used a white grout pen to cover up the stubborn mould.
She also picked up some accessories for the bathroom from Poundland including a toothbrush holder and small ottoman to store her hygiene products in.
Showing off the transformed bathroom, she said: “I absolutely love it.”
And she wasn’t the only one as over 600 people took to the comments to praise her DIY skills.

Hollywood legend and TV star spotted munching on Greggs sausage rolls in UK car park – would you have recognised them?
A HOLLYWOOD legend and a British TV star were spotted together munching on Greggs sausage rolls in a UK car park.
The pair have been working on a new project together alongside another A-list actress from Pitch Perfect.
Kiefer Sutherland, 58, and Rebel Wilson, 44, took to social media together as they shot their latest project.
Both the Emmy Award winner and the How To Be Single personality have been working on a new film, Tinsel Town.
The film is due for release in Christmas later this year and filming began last month across Yorkshire.
Both of the pair shared their delight at a special Greggs delivery on the set alongside 8 Out Of 10 Cats presenter Jason Manford.
Kiefer took to his instagram page as he shared his delight at the special food delivery.
He was stood on the set beaming from ear to ear as he held the sausage roll in one hand.
The actor explained: “Last two weeks of shooting Tinsel Town here in Leeds, we had a Greggs van on the set.
“It’s been] the best day so far.”
Emily In Paris star Lucien Laviscount, 32, also has a starring role in the production and also seemed to be ecstatic by the surprise.
He was seen getting ready to dig into his order as he remarked: “Piping hot, Greggs, delicious”.
Sources say that Jason placed his order for a Sausage, Bean and Cheese Melt and a Yum Yum.
Meanwhile, Rebel also opted for a Yum Yum after some schooling on the tasty treat by her co-star.
In a story on her Instagram, he explained “It’s a Northern delicacy Rebel.”
Kiefer previously mentioned his love for the iconic pastry on multiple occasions during appearances on The One Show and Alan Carr’s Life’s A Beach podcast.
He expressed that he’s a “great supporter of Greggs and the Sausage Roll”.
I’m a garden expert and here’s the ‘secret weapon’ 99p flower that’s better than insect repellant for keeping pests away
A GARDENING expert has revealed the one flower you need to plant now — claiming it is “better than insect repellent” when it comes to keeping pests at bay.
Chris Ware, of Climbing Wild Gardeners, says the calendula – also known as the pot marigold – is also easy to grow, edible, and capable of protecting other plants.
Chris describes the calendula as a “secret weapon” in his garden, explaining that it offers an incredible range of benefits for any outdoor space.
And priced at as little as 99p for a pack of seeds, it’s a bargain too.
The Ultimate Pest Repellent
“Calendulas act as a magnet for beneficial insects,” Chris explains.
“They attract pollinators like bees, which help increase the yield of fruiting plants like tomatoes and beans.
“But what’s even more impressive is their ability to draw in natural pest predators like ladybirds, lacewings, and hoverflies, which feast on harmful pests such as aphids.”
He added: “Intercropping with calendulas can dramatically reduce pest numbers.
“I always recommend planting them near members of the cabbage family, such as broccoli, cauliflower, and kale.
“They not only help protect crops but also add a splash of cheerful color to the garden.”
How to Grow Calendulas
Chris advises gardeners to sow calendula seeds directly into the soil from early to mid-spring.
The flowers thrive in well-drained soil and are easy to cultivate.
“These flowers are incredibly low-maintenance,” Chris notes.
“They self-seed, meaning they’ll come back year after year without any extra effort. Just make sure they get enough water, and they’ll flourish.”
For those looking to get an early start, he recommends sowing seeds in pots or plug trays before transplanting them outdoors once the risk of frost has passed.
More Than Just a Garden Plant
Beyond their pest-repelling properties, calendulas also have a variety of other uses.
Their petals are commonly used in cooking for their slightly peppery taste, and they are a popular ingredient in skincare products due to their soothing properties.
“You can make your own calendula oil at home,” Chris suggests.
“Just dry the flowers and steep them in olive oil for about a month. It’s great for calming irritated or sunburnt skin.”
With their beauty, practicality, and resilience, calendulas are an all-round powerhouse for any garden.
As Chris puts it, “Think of them as an insurance policy against pests—without the need for harsh chemicals. They truly are one of the most useful flowers you can grow.”
Bergerac reboot is woke monstrosity – and turning the lead into a morose, empathetic sod isn’t even the worst of it
LIKE listed buildings, some of our finest television shows should have had preservation orders to protect them.
Porridge is one, Minder’s another.
And both ended up being desecrated by remakes, with Kevin Bishop and Shane Richie, respectively.
So I shouldn’t really have been too surprised to discover U&Drama’s reruns of Bergerac, another blue plaque show, weren’t an act of nostalgic benevolence after all.
They were just buttering us up for last night’s reboot, which was probably sunk from the moment someone decided, instead of eight gloriously self-contained episodes, like the John Nettles classic, they would spread a single murder mystery over an entire series that had lost my interest and any sympathy for its horrible characters within the first 30 minutes.
Worse was to follow, though, when it became apparent no one on the production had properly appreciated the title of the show is a bit of a misnomer.
Altar of diversity
The real star of Bergerac was Charlie Hungerford, played by the great Terence Alexander, who was so central to the drama that, if you drew a Venn diagram of every imaginary crime committed in Jersey from 1981 to 1991, Jim’s ex-father-in-law would be sitting right in the middle wiggling a big cigar.
He was the Channel Islands’ Fonz, a character of such shifty but abundant charm only television people could be stupid and woke enough to decide that, in the new version, Charlie Hungerford must be a woman.
Because Charlie is now a woman, of course, she also cannot be seen to exhibit vanity, pomposity, greed, cowardice, lust or any of the other failings which made a nation fall in love with Terence’s master creation.
Instead, poor old Zoe Wannamaker just hangs around pruning roses, like she’s taken a wrong turn on the way to a Hetty Wainthropp reboot.
It’s a TV travesty of significant proportions, but not, as you’ve probably guessed, an isolated incident.
The criminals will almost certainly all turn out to be white blokes, but in every other respect the new Bergerac worships at the altar of diversity and equality, making a mockery of the fact Jersey is 96 per cent white and leaving me feeling they might as well have set the damn thing in Brighton or Bournemouth if they were really that unhappy with the setting’s ethnic mix.
Woke as it is, there is just the slightest chance it could still be rescued by a great lead.
But as for Jim Bergerac himself?
Well, in the original, he was a cynical but charismatic and buccaneering alpha male who, in the very first episode, flirted with a dead colleague’s fiancée at his funeral and moved in with her almost before the second had started.
Someone so red-blooded/predatory could never be tolerated by TV zealots in 2025, obviously, so the new version, played well enough by Damien Molony, is a morose sod beset by his alcoholic demons and devoid of any libido because he’s mourning the loss of his wife.
He’s empathetic as hell, obviously and communicates almost entirely by therapy speak, which will no doubt thrill broadsheet types.
But once you’ve emasculated the cast and neutered the quirky, unique and slightly sinister setting, all you’re really left with here is one more cut-and-paste seaside cop, who just happens to share a name and a car, the 1947 Triumph Roadster, with another TV policeman.
Normally I wouldn’t get so vexed about these misfiring reboots, but Bergerac is one of my desert island TV shows
Normally I wouldn’t get so vexed about these misfiring reboots, but Bergerac is one of my desert island TV shows — a drama I love not just because of prophetically brilliant episodes like Always Leave Them Laughing (Series two, episode two) and dazzling cameos from actors like Michael Gambon (Series five, episode two), but because it reminds me of the 1980s and the people I watched it with first time round who aren’t around any more to enjoy the memory.
I’m also shocked, on a fairly regular basis, to discover television doesn’t have more reverence for its own audience or heritage and is so lacking in imagination it would rather trample all over the medium’s legacy with a soulless, humourless, parasitic, woke imitation than come up with something original.
On the plus side, however…?
On the plus side, I quite like the new graphics.

TV GOLD
SKY Showcase’s Kursk: 10 Days That Shaped Putin, running away with the title Best Show Of The Week.
BBC4 repeating Steptoe & Son: Divided We Stand. The singing psychic on Michael McIntyre’s Unexpected Star slot.
Shayne Ward’s Jack Grayling character rounding off series two of C5’s so-bad- it’s-brilliant drama The Good Ship Murder with a chorus of Don’t Leave Me This Way (my thoughts exactly).
Giovanni Pernice proving to be such a conceited jerk I actually cheered when he was caught, hiding in a bus shelter, on Celebrity Hunted.
And Chief Ray Howard defiantly announcing “We will not be able to show our faces in public for 25 years if Duncan James and Christine McGuinness get away,” about half an hour before James and McGuinness got away and won the Channel 4 show. I’ll be holding them to that pledge as well.
GREAT SPORTING INSIGHTS
PAUL MERSON: “United need to dig deep to get themselves out of this hole.”
Mike Dean: “The keeper is only 20 yards in front of him and 30 or 40 yards behind him.”
And Jamie Carragher: “The only player who had that level of confidence was Wayne Rooney. Jude Bellingham’s got it too.” (Compiled by Graham Wray)
LOOKALIKE OF THE WEEK
THIS week’s winner is that insufferable little prig Ian Hislop and Mr Knowsmore from Ralph Breaks The Internet. Sent in by Daveyboy.
EDITED highlights, Amanda And Alan’s Spanish Job DIY show,
Amanda Holden: “Starting the day bright and early, I’m back to work in the bedroom. I’ve roped in master decorator Jed.
“I want it everywhere.”
Though, rest assured, I’ll draw a veil over things the moment he “repurposes her chimney flue”.
ON the last ever episode of Wynne & Joanna: All At Sea, BBC One’s suspended opera singer Wynne Evans inadvertently revealed details of his forthcoming Welsh tour as he said: “I want to be an ice cream man, I just want to do it.”
With Llandudno, Barry Island, Porthcawl and other pitches to follow, just as soon as he’s got his food hygiene certificate.
THE Last Leg, Adam Hills: “Hopefully there’s a week when we don’t have to cover Donald Trump too much.” To clarify: The show doesn’t have to cover Donald Trump at all.
Adam chooses to do so, because if he didn’t, the simpering left-wing creep would have to have a go at Keir Starmer and the Labour Party, which would take three things no one at The Last Leg or Channel 4 has got. Talent, integrity and balls.
UNEXPECTED MORONS IN THE BAGGING AREA
THE Weakest Link, Romesh Ranganathan: “The musical And Juliet, which premiered in the West End in 2019, is inspired by a tragedy by which playwright?”
Shivi Ramoutar: “Hugo Boss.”
Impossible, Rick Edwards: “Which Twin Peaks character is found dead at the start of the first ever episode? B) Leland Palmer, C) Laura Palmer.”

Tipping Point, Ben Shephard: “The birthday of which political activist is celebrated in India with an annual public holiday?”
Jordan: “Guy Fawkes.” “Ghandi.”
And Mastermind, Clive Myrie, looking for Graham Hill: “Which British driver won the F1 world championship in 1962 and 1968?”
James: “Nigel Havers.” (Thanks to TalkSPORT’s Paul Hawksbee)
RANDOM IRRITATIONS
HOLLY WILLOUGHBY’S Remember Me slot, on Michael McIntyre’s Big Show, finishing without any of her blasts-from-the-past appearing above the caption: “Phillip, TV partner 2009-2023.”
Tim Campbell laughing at every one of Lord Sugar’s lame-ass puns on The Apprentice.
And self-obsessed Amanda Holden using Amanda And Alan’s Spanish Job to make the wild claim: “People are always saying I’ve got big boobs.”
Because they’re most certainly not. Alan, on the other hand…
CROAKED IT AND TUBS . . .
FOLLOWING EastEnders’ 40th anniversary explosion, Phil Mitchell was left in rehab, Denise Fox reunited with Jack Branning and Reiss Colwell lay dead after a bathtub landed on his head in the remains of The Queen Vic’s kitchen.
Though where the hell that thing came from, I’ve no reasonable idea.
The pub’s bathroom isn’t above the kitchen and doesn’t have a bath anyway, as far as I’m aware.
So I’m guessing it must have been jettisoned by the International Space Station as it passed over Borehamwood, in the middle of last week.
The live episode’s most significant casualty, however, was Martin Fowler, the fruit and veg man turned gangland enforcer turned fruit and veg man (again), who found himself pinned to the floor by a pub beam that was so obviously made of rubber it started twitching every time he talked.
It stretched credulity a bit, then, to believe Martin was about to suffer a fatal rush of blood from the brain, even if the poor delirious sod did suddenly start describing Stacey as “the sexiest thing I’ve ever clapped eyes on”.
It was nice, though, that the Walford paramedic flagged up his imminent demise and invited Stacey and everyone else to sum up Martin’s contribution not just to EastEnders but the wider world of acting with the words: “Say whatever you want to say.”
Okay.
Two pounds of King Edwards and a bag of bananas, please, mate.
GREAT NEWS, BRUNO
GREAT TV lies and delusions of the week. Britain’s Got Talent, Dec: “Bruno Tonioli can’t be here in Blackpool.
“The good news is, we’ve got a brilliant replacement, social media sensation KSI.”
No. The good news is, Bruno Tonioli can’t be here in Blackpool.
Michelle Trachtenberg’s cause of death ruled ‘undetermined’ after family refuses autopsy
MICHELLE Trachtenberg’s cause of death is “undetermined” after her family refused an autopsy.
The Gossip Girl actress died at 39 due to an undetermined manner and cause, her official autopsy report said.
Trachtenberg’s mom found her daughter at around 8 am on Wednesday at her 51-story apartment building in Manhattan, cops said.
The star’s family objected to the full report, a spokeswoman for the city medical examiner’s office told the New York Post.
The halted autopsy means the cause of death wasn’t determined because there wasn’t enough information available.
Investigators aren’t expected to look more into her death due to her family’s wishes.
Trachtenberg reportedly underwent a liver transplant in the months before her death.
After news of her death broke, her friend revealed in a heartbreaking tribute that they had spoken while Trachtenberg was in her hospital bed.
The actress’ credits include major roles on hit shows Gossip Girl and Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
Trachtenberg was an actress since childhood, starring as the titular role in the 1996 movie Harriet the Spy.

Major high street bakery chain suddenly closes another store after shutting 170 branches across the country
A MAJOR high street bakery chain has suddenly closed another store, after shutting 170 branches across the country.
The news was confirmed on a window notice at the shuttered store, leaving loyal customers shocked.
Patisserie Valerie in Maidstone, Kent, thanked locals for their support – and made a cryptic reference to a potential return.
The message read: “We would like to take this time to take this opportunity to thank you for your support over the years, and we look forward to returning to Maidstone as soon as possible.”
The Belgian chain is famed for its luxurious cakes, pastries and coffee.
As well as running physical bakeries, it also stocks its sweet treats in various supermarkets including Sainsbury’s.
The company opened its first branch in London in 1926, before rapidly expanding to almost 200 across the country – with 3,000 employees.
But it fell into administration in 2019, and was forced shut more than 170 bakeries.
Since then, further stores have also announced closures – including High Wycombe’s Eden Shopping Centre branch in January last year.
A Patisserie Valerie in Nottingham city centre followed suit a few months later – with a handwritten note on the front door announcing that it had been “permanently closed”.
The closure prompted a wave of locals to bemoan the state of the high street, with one writing: “Nottingham is becoming one awful ghost city.”
And another said: “Another one gone.”
Patisserie Valerie is not the only business to struggle with rising costs in recent weeks.
This week, another bakery, Palmers Bakery, in Stanton near Bury St Edmunds, also confirmed it would be shutting its doors in just a few weeks’ time – after 155 years of business.
RETAIL SECTOR STRUGGLES
The retail sector has been hit hard in recent years as the trend towards online shopping intensifies.
The most recent data from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) shows online retail sales increased from 5% of all retail sales in 2008 to 27% in 2022.
Shoppers have also been feeling the pinch in recent years following sky-high inflation which has dented their wallets and purses.
It has led to a number of major retailers having to close stores to shore up their finances.
Boots announced in 2023 it would shut 300 of its branches in a bid to slim down its high street presence while WHSmith is in talks to sell off 500 of its stores.
Jewellery chains have been forced into closing branches as well.
Claire’s has closed a number of stores in recent years, including in Gillingham, Nuneaton and Newton Abbott.
T H Baker also shuttered a branch in Cambridge in May last year.
Why are retailers closing shops?
EMPTY shops have become an eyesore on many British high streets and are often symbolic of a town centre’s decline.
The Sun’s business editor Ashley Armstrong explains why so many retailers are shutting their doors.
In many cases, retailers are shutting stores because they are no longer the money-makers they once were because of the rise of online shopping.
Falling store sales and rising staff costs have made it even more expensive for shops to stay open.
The British Retail Consortium has predicted that the Treasury’s hike to employer NICs from April 2025, will cost the retail sector £2.3billion.
At the same time, the minimum wage will rise to £12.21 an hour from April, and the minimum wage for people aged 18-20 will rise to £10 an hour, an increase of £1.40.
In some cases, retailers are shutting a store and reopening a new shop at the other end of a high street to reflect how a town has changed.
The problem is that when a big shop closes, footfall falls across the local high street, which puts more shops at risk of closing.
Retail parks are increasingly popular with shoppers, who want to be able to get easy, free parking at a time when local councils have hiked parking charges in towns.
Many retailers including Next and Marks & Spencer have been shutting stores on the high street and taking bigger stores in better-performing retail parks instead.
In some cases, stores have been shut when a retailer goes bust, as in the case of Carpetright, Debenhams, Dorothy Perkins, Paperchase, Ted Baker, The Body Shop, Topshop and Wilko to name a few.
What’s increasingly common is when a chain goes bust a rival retailer or private equity firm snaps up the intellectual property rights so they can own the brand and sell it online.
They may go on to open a handful of stores if there is customer demand, but there are rarely ever as many stores or in the same places.
The Centre for Retail Research (CRR) has warned that around 17,350 retail sites are expected to shut down this year.
Charlotte Crosby hits out at In The Style in pay row as she says ‘people shouldn’t be allowed to get away with it’
CHARLOTTE Crosby has joined the row against In The Style as the firm teeters on the edge of administration.
The Geordie Shore star, 34, has thrown her supporting behind celebrities including Jacqueline Jossa, who are demanding to be paid by the company.
Jacqueline, 32, had signed as the face of the affordable fashion brand five years ago in a deal rumoured to be worth almost £1 million.
But she has claimed she is owed tens of thousands of pounds by the company and has not been paid in months.
Influencer and YouTuber Carys Whittaker, who has collaborated with In The Style for four years, said that the brand had been “purposely withholding payments” owed to her from her 2024 collection.
And in a separate row last year, Instagram star Perrie Sian is understood to have instructed lawyers to help her recover unpaid fees from the fashion retailer.
Charlotte, who herself has a collection with In The Style, said: “I’ve stayed pretty quiet on this for a long time, but having witnessed first hand the mental toll leaving In The Style had on Adam and Jamie, and the way their voices were silenced, we are finally seeing the truth come to light through countless stories of people not being paid and being treated unfairly – staff, suppliers, influencers – everyone is starting to see it for what it is.
“That business was something special for ten years, built on incredible values, and it’s heartbreaking to watch all of this unfold.
“But it’s about time the truth is exposed for everyone to see.
“People shouldn’t be allowed to get away with this!”
The Sun told earlier this month that In The Style, know for its fashion collaborations with famous faces, was on the brink of insolvency and set to call in administrators.
It’s understood that FTS Recovery was being lined up to act as administrator to the company, which was founded by Adam Frisby in his bedroom in 2013, according to Sky News.
Since its launch, the company differentiated itself through a pioneering influencer collaboration model.
This involved partnering with social media personalities and celebrities to create and promote exclusive clothing lines.
Early collaborations included reality TV star Lauren Pope from The Only Way is Essex.
But despite initial success, the company experienced declining financial performance, ultimately leading to its sale for £1.2million to Baaj Capital in March 2023.
Adam stepped down as CEO and gave up all his shares in the business.
Earlier today, EastEnders star Jacquline – who has already consulted lawyers – spoke out.
She revealed In The Style is still selling stock using her name and image on the website.
Jacqueline blasted: “After 4 glorious years working with In The Style, I never thought my time with the brand would end this way.
“But in truth since I or my team can’t get a response from anyone at the company, the decision has bee made for me.
“My name and image is still being used all over the website, helping the brand to sell stock, yet I haven’t been paid for months.
“I see them signing up new faces and continuing to launch new collections and I feel it’s my responsibility to let the new girls know that their contract is unlikely to be honoured and they are unlikely to be paid.”
Jacqueline went on to thank founders Adam “for starting In The Style, adding: “Sorry this had to happen to your beautiful business.”
The angry actress concluded: “If anyone from the In The Style team could get back to me, that would be great.”
