Kate Scott Jokes About Man City’s Premier League Charges on CBS Sports

League Soccer

A CBS Sports Golazo panel introduction turned into a pointed Manchester City joke when Scott contrasted Micah Richards’ honours with those of Thierry Henry and Jamie Carragher, then referenced the unresolved Premier League case against Richards’ former club.

What changed for the club

Scott opened the discussion by setting out the major trophies won by Henry, including the World Cup, European Championship, Champions League, Premier League and La Liga. Carragher’s Champions League, UEFA Cup, FA Cup and League Cup successes were also noted.

Richards was then introduced as a Premier League and FA Cup winner, but Scott suggested his medals could one day be returned if Manchester City were stripped of honours. The presenter also jokingly asked what “Big Meeks” might win next.

The exchange, shared through CBS Sports Golazo’s official social channels, drew a wide reaction and briefly left Richards without an immediate response.

  • Richards played for Manchester City from 2005 until 2015.
  • He was part of the team that won the FA Cup in 2011.
  • He also collected a Premier League winners’ medal in 2011-12.

Competition context

The joke concerned the Premier League’s long-running proceedings against Manchester City. In February 2023, the league charged the club with more than 100 alleged breaches of financial regulations.

The allegations cover the period from 2009 to 2018, overlapping with Richards’ time as a regular City first-team player. They include questions over the accuracy of financial information supplied by the club, the reporting of player and manager pay, and an alleged failure to assist the Premier League investigation over a number of years.

Manchester City have repeatedly denied wrongdoing. Nevertheless, the scale of the case has kept the possibility of sanctions, including the potential effect on past titles, central to discussion around the club’s modern success.

What is scheduled next

No date for a final ruling or any possible sanction was set out. Until the case is resolved, Richards’ 2011 FA Cup and 2011-12 Premier League medals remain official honours, while the Premier League proceedings continue to hang over City’s record during the period under examination.
