Манчестер Ситигийн санхүүгийн дүрэм зөрчсөн асуудал шийдэгдвэл багийн түрүүг хураах эсэхэд Кайл Уолкер байр сууриа илэрхийлсэн нь фанатуудын шүүмжлэлд өртлөө.
Манчестер Ситид найман жил хүчин зүтгэж, 17 цом хүртсэнийхээ дараа 2025 онд АС Милан руу шилжсэн Кайл Уолкер одоогоор Чемпионшипийн Бернлид тоглож байна. Тэрээр talkSPORT сувагт өгсөн ярилцлагадаа Премьер лигийн санхүүгийн 115 зөрчлийн хэрэгт Манчестер Сити буруутай гэж үзвэл багийн авсан түрүүг хурааж магадгүй эсэх талаар хошигнон ярьжээ. Уолкер хэрэв тийм шийдвэр гарвал өөрийн бие дээрх “дараалсан дөрвөн түрүү”-г илтгэх шивээсээ арилгах шаардлагатай болно гэдгээ дурдсан байна.
Энэхүү ярилцлагын дараа Манчестер Ситигийн хөгжөөн дэмжигчид түүнийг багийн ахлагчаар ажиллаж байсан гэхэд итгэмээргүй үг хэллэг ашиглалаа хэмээн олон нийтийн сүлжээнд хүчтэй шүүмжилжээ. Зарим дэмжигчид түүнийг багийн түүхэн дэх “хамгийн муу ахлагч” гэж нэрлээд, сүүлийн жилүүдэд өөрийн нэр хүндээ унагаж байна хэмээн буруутгасан байна.
Уолкерийн нэр хүндэд нөлөөлсөн өөр нэг асуудал нь 2025 оны зургаадугаар сард өгсөн ярилцлагатай холбоотой юм. Тэрээр өмнөх баг Тоттенхэм Хотспурын Европын лигт түрүүлэх мөчийг мэдрэхийн тулд Манчестер Ситид байхдаа хүртсэн Премьер лигийн нэг түрүүгээ ч өгөхөд бэлэн байсан гэж мэдэгдсэн нь фанатуудын дургүйцлийг төрүүлж байв. Мөн Манчестер Ситигийн баримтат кинонд гардаг Пеп Гвардиолатай хийсэн ширүүн маргаан нь хөгжөөн дэмжигчдийн дунд таагүй сэтгэгдэл үлдээсэн байна.
Манчестер Ситигийн санхүүгийн зөрчилтэй холбоотой шийдвэр хоёрдугаар сарын 8-наас өмнө гарч болзошгүй байгаа бөгөөд багийн хувьд оноо хасах, цом хураах эсвэл доод лиг рүү унах зэрэг хатуу шийтгэл хүлээж болзошгүй нөхцөл байдал үүсээд байна.

Kyle Walker has said what he would do if Manchester City’s guilty verdict is upheld after breaching the majority of their 115 charges, and some supporters aren’t happy with his comments.
Walker spent an incredible eight years at Man City between 2017 and 2025, where he became one of the Premier League‘s best right-backs.
The Englishman made 319 appearances for the club and won 17 trophies, including six Premier League titles and a 2023 Champions League, before joining AC Milan in 2025.

Kyle Walker said he would remove his tattoo if Man City get titles stripped
Walker is currently playing for Championship side Burnley after choosing to stay with the club following their relegation last season.
The Clarets have endured an incredibly difficult return to the second tier, winning just one of their opening 11 matches and are currently 22nd in the table.
But it isn’t just on the pitch where the 36-year-old has encountered scrutiny, with Man City fans calling him out after he jokingly said he would get his ‘four in a row tattoo’ removed if the Cityzens get their medals taken away for breaching the Premier League’s financial rules.
“[I’ve got] ‘four in a row’ tattooed. (Remove it if medals are taken away?) *Laughing*,” Walker told talkSPORT when asked about his thoughts on the 115 charges.
“Well I’m probably going to have to do that bit! But you look at the likes of the great Man United squads; they never managed to get four in a row. There’s only a select few of us that can say we’ve got four. I’ll try and keep it, but hopefully we don’t get things taken away…”
Walker’s tattoo, of course, references the period when Man City won four Premier League titles in a row between 2020 and 2024, a feat only they have managed in the competition’s history.
But many supporters weren’t happy with his comments, despite the Englishman once helping them create history, as one person wrote: “I can’t believe this guy wore the armband.”
“Worst captain ever. How he has ruined his legacy after he left and in his last couple of seasons is phenomenal. To this day I question how he was voted as captain,” another agreed.
“He deserves a spot in the Sky Sports pundit lineup. As always, spitting diabolical words. Worst captain ever,” a third posted.

Why Man City fans now dislike Kyle Walker
The stripping of titles is one potential punishment on the table alongside relegation, points deductions, and a hefty fine if the Independent Commission’s guilty verdict is upheld after City appealed the decision on October 1.
Man City could have their punishment decided as late as February 8, though the Premier League are reportedly pushing for it to be announced before the result of their appeal.
While this is the most pressing matter in England’s top flight, City’s dislike of Walker stems from more than just his comments on removing a tattoo.
In June 2025, he angered the fanbase when he said he would have given up one of his Premier League medals just to celebrate former club Tottenham Hotspur’s Europa League triumph over Manchester United.
“I’d probably give up one Premier League title, not the first, to have won that Europa League with Tottenham because I know what it means,” Walker said on his BBC podcast.
“Probably my second — although that was the ‘Four-midables’ [when they won all four domestic trophies].
“It’s hard to give one away, but for what that moment meant, to say I was in that Spurs squad that won a trophy.”
Supporters were also saddened when footage of Walker’s dressing room argument with Pep Guardiola emerged on a four-part documentary called ‘A Beautiful Obsession’.
Guardiola was reduced to tears during his clash with the former City captain, who asked to leave the club a month later and then joined AC Milan on loan.
