Has the shine worn off for Manchester City's latest victory?

A former club executive tells us if the historic run is spoilt by the FFP allegations.

Manchester City has added another trophy to their cabinet after winning their fifth Premier League title in six years - and the third in a row.

They were named champions on Saturday, despite not being on the pitch, after Arsenal's 1-0 loss to Nottingham Forest.

It's the first of three steps that could see them make history. If City beat Inter Milan in the Champions League final, and take the FA Cup home, they'll become the second English team ever to bag the Treble, that's three titles in one season.

To-date that's only been managed by Manchester United, who also happen to be City's FA Cup opponents.

But it comes as the club faces a Premier League investigation over breaches to Financial Fair Play rules. In the February the investigation announced, the Premier League said it will be making "no further comment in respect of this matter until further notice".

Sean Farrington talks to Chris Bird, former Manchester City executive, he's now chief executive at the Raheem Sterling Foundation.
