The Premier League resumed its season with Manchester City's punishment for breaking financial rules dominating the conversation. Jonathan Wilson writes that football itself felt secondary on the opening weekend, as fans and pundits focused on what the judgment means for the club, the competition's integrity, and the precedent it sets for financial regulation in English football.
Why now: Manchester City's guilty finding on financial rules is the biggest story in English football, overshadowing the new season's start.
