BBC Sport columnist and former Stoke City manager Tony Pulis said he is speaking for “all Stoke fans” after Manchester City were found guilty of the majority of the 115 charges brought against the club.
Pulis, who writes a regular column for the BBC, expressed the sense of injustice felt by supporters of the Potteries club, questioning when Stoke will be awarded the FA Cup they believe they deserve.
“I feel cheated – when do Stoke City get our FA Cup?” he wrote, echoing the frustration that many fans share following the verdict.
The columnist noted that the guilty verdict, which covers most of the 115 allegations, has raised concerns about the integrity of the competition and the impact on clubs that feel disadvantaged by the outcome.
Pulis called on the football authorities to provide clear guidance on any repercussions for the FA Cup schedule and to ensure that the rules are applied consistently across all clubs.
His comments add to a broader debate within English football about how disciplinary decisions affect the fairness of domestic tournaments.
