      Manchester City executive who stole £100,000 from club to pay for gifts and her wedding only has to pay back £2,500

      by

      A FORMER Manchester City executive who stole more than £104,000 from the club to pay for her wedding only has to pay back £2,550.Fiona Barclay, 34, worked as a business development manager within the Premier League champions’ hospitality department, earning up to £30,000 a year.

      The mum-of-one was jailed in November last year for fraud after swindling huge sums from Manchester City to fund her big day and buy lavish gifts for her husband and family.
      Yet she has now been ordered to pay back just £2,500 at a Proceeds of Crime Act hearing.
      She was told the news when appearing via video-link from her native Falkirk in Scotland.
      The hearing began with Barclay being asked whether she was alone, before telling the judge she had her seven-week-old baby beside her.

      Judge Timothy Smith ruled: “In light of everything uploaded, the benefit figure is £104,934.16, arising out of general criminal conduct. The available amount is £2,550.
      “This must be paid back by October 6.”
      When she was jailed, Manchester crown court heard how Barclay was first rumbled in March last year after accountants flagged a suspicious £25,000 refund.
      When questioned by bosses she claimed she’d transferred £15,000 of the sum into her own bank account “in error”.

      But following an investigation, the club discovered Barclay had been stealing from them since June 2019 – more than £104,000 overall.
      She pleaded guilty to an offence of fraud by abuse of position and was sacked by the Etihad Stadium side in March 2021.
      Her barrister Patrick Buckley described Barclay as “utterly disgusted with herself”, adding: “There is nothing in terms of reason or logical reason why she did what she did.”
      She spent less than half of her 18-month sentence in prison, with the rest to be served on licence.
      The latest court hearing was told she had found a new job with a travel firm and informed them about her conviction, while also trying in vain to arrange with City for repayment of the money owed.
      When jailing her for 18 months, Manchester crown court recorder Ciaran Rankin had said: “This is a tragedy – you have thrown so much away because of your dishonesty and, I’m afraid, pure greed.”
      On the pitch, City won an historic treble this past season – claiming the Premier League, FA Cup and Champions League trophies.

      Fans notice hilarious coincidence about Bernardo Silva’s wedding photo and say ‘years of Pep Guardiola can cause this’

      by

      FANS reckon an amazing coincidence in a Bernardo Silva wedding photo proves boss Pep Guardiola has a God-like influence on Manchester City.Bernardo was snapped on his big day with model Ines Tomaz alongside four City pals … with supporters noticing they posed in team formation!

      Central defender Ruben Dias was at the rear, wing-backs Kyle Walker and Joao Cancelo out wide, and Riyad Mahrez plus Silva further forward.
      So perhaps it was no surprise that the other person in the shot – super-agent Jorge Mendes – was the middle man.
      One fan even joked “Haaland took the picture ” – a reference to City’s goal machine always being at the front.
      The only mystery for spooked supporters was Silva “holding two cups” only – in the month Guardiola’s men completed the TREBLE.

      One fan said of the snap: “Years of Pep Guardiola can cause this.”
      Another wrote: “Even in this picture everyone of them is in his correct position. Pep Guardiola really is the best man.”
      A third suggested: “It’s all they know.”
      Tactics, even on his own match of the day, were surely the last thing on Bernardo’s mind.

      Ex-boxing champ Amir Khan begged model to send him racy pictures and told her his marriage was ‘business arrangement’

      But he quickly tried to turn their chat saucy, saying “U look good on g string” and suggesting the slender influencer had a “boob job”.
      Seemingly aware he was going behind the back of his wife Faryal, 31, he vowed to delete any racy pictures she sent and asked: “Think I wana get caught out?”
      Khan, whose marriage has been rocked by a string of cheating storms, first contacted social media influencer Sumaira, 25, on May 6.
      Three days earlier, he had been the third contestant evicted from the all-star version of ITV’s I’m a Celebrity . . . Get me out of Here in South Africa.

      The ex-world champ remarked on an Instagram story about tattoos, which Sumaira had posted.
      Sumaira — known as Sumzz beauty online — responded, saying: “I don’t know if you’re joking.”
      But dad-of-three Khan followed up his compliment by saying: “Lol I’m serious. They sick. (As) in good.”
      Messages sent from his Amir King Khan account show him in Dubai — where he and Faryal have a home with their two daughters and son.
      Most read in Boxing
      As they chatted about tattoos, Sumaira sent him a snap of herself clothed but showing roses on her midriff.
      Khan replied: “Can’t stop looking.”
      Trying to convince her to send more revealing snaps, he suggested it was a “tattoo chat” and added: “It’s nothing I ain’t seen b4 . . . somebody’s body.”
      The ex-boxer also spoke to Sumaira on the phone to explain why he had contacted her.
      She said: “We had a phone call and he said he and Faryal were not properly together and that it was a bit of a business arrangement.
      “He said he was 36 and retired and that Faryal spent a lot of time in London. He spun me a bit of a sob story, and to begin with I felt sorry for him and thought he was lonely.”
      He stopped messaging Sumaira after telling her he was travelling back to London on May 8.
      Trying to convince her to send more revealing snaps, he suggested it was a ‘tattoo chat’ and added: ‘It’s nothing I ain’t seen b4 . . . somebody’s body’
      Weeks later Khan — who married Faryal in 2013 — posted a snap online of himself with his US model wife and daughters, saying: “10 years later.”
      He then popped up and messaged Sumaira again on Friday, June 2 — to try to get her to join him on a night out in London.
      He sent her the location of a West London nightspot and said: “Be free around 10.30.”
      But she ignored his message amid fears over his intentions.
      Sumaira said: “I felt in my gut it would be a bad idea to go.
      Within days, though, Khan began messaging Sumaira again.
      Trying to persuade her to send revealing snaps, Khan said: “Don’t worry I delete.”
      And after Sumaira sent him a video of herself, he replied: “To much clothes.”
      He then asked about her breasts and said bluntly: “Let’s see.” He added: “U look good on g string.”
      After growing suspicious about what Khan had said about his marriage, Sumaira and the ex-boxer argued and stopped contact.

      She said: “I was confused about what his intentions were. Then I realised he had been lying to me and trying to get one thing.”

      The Spaniard was the best man for many years – between the sticks.
      But now he’s a free man –  on the day he gets hitched to singer Edurne Garcia.
      And as De Gea goes from Red Devil to Wed Devil there’s another major twist.
      United have asked the 32-year-old NOT to sign for anyone else.
      READ MORE TOP STORIES
      That’s because manager Erik ten Hag has yet to find a replacement as he juggles his limited budget.
      De Gea has huge affection for United after joining from Atletico Madrid in 2011.

      So he’s unlikely to raise a finger at the club’s request just before he puts a ring on it.
      But it sums up a transfer saga that’s drifted on for many months.

      Talks over a new contract rumbled on and stumbled off before ending as he declined a pay cut from £375,000 a week to £200k.
      Yet his divorce from Old Trafford is not as clear-cut as it seems.
      Whatever happens, De Gea is set for a joyful Saturday as he weds TV presenter and actress Edurne, 37.
      Ironically they started dating in the year he joined United.
      Now the couple – whose first child, daughter Yanay, was born in March 2021 – are tying the knot in their home country.
      Around 80 to 100 guests are reportedly expected at the venue in Menorca.
      The loved-up couple held their pre-wedding bash on the Spanish island on Thursday.
      Guests turned up all dressed in white for the luxurious bash.
      Despite his transfer situation, De Gea was all smiles as he chatted to friends and family.
      De Gea, then, is switching from the Theatre of Dreams to his Match of the Day.
      But after his honeymoon will there be extra time at Old Trafford?

      Dressed in a Hugo Boss cream linen suit, Richard, 66, boarded the Dartmouth Ferry to the wedding ceremony in Brixham, Devon, after staying at the four-star Dart Marina Hotel on Friday night.
      Speaking to The Sun ahead of the nuptials, he said: “I’m a very lucky man, although feeling a bit nervous.
      “We’re heading off to Canada for our honeymoon which is a bit different.
      “Then it’s back to work for both of us in August and the start of the football season for me.

      “People think I might be a bit long in the tooth now but I don’t care.”
      A source told The Sun: “Richard and Lucie tried to keep the wedding as low-key as possible so decided to have it on a private estate.”

      In the days leading up to the wedding, Richard and Lucie, 35, were spotted on social media wining and dining at the five-star Mandrake Hotel in West London.
      The couple sent out “save the dates”  in April to their guests on £45 bottles of personalised Veuve Clicquot champagne with “formal invitation to follow”.

      They first met when Richard moved to the Middle East to work for broadcaster beIN Sports with his long-time pal Andy Gray.
      Lucie, who was best pals with his daughter Jemma, became embroiled in a secret fling with the presenter.
      Cheated wife Julia told The Sun that the affair in 2016 which brought their 36-year marriage crashing down had left their family “devastated”.
      Now the Daily Mail says that a source close to Julia has revealed that she was unaware of the wedding until she received a text from Richard just two hours before Lucie walked the aisle.
      Julia told them: “What can I say – I’m in a new relationship now and I’ve put Richard and our marriage behind me now.
      “I wish him and Lucie all the best. If that’s what makes him happy then I’m happy for him but as for me it’s all in the past now. I’m in a new relationship and I’m really happy and that’s all I want to focus on. 
      “It looks as if he is happy as well from the photographs so all the best to them. As I say anything to do with Richard and our marriage is in the past so I wish them well.”
      She had previously said: “He met Jemma’s friend Lucie, who was working in Doha, and the lies began. He claimed she and her friends thought of him as their ‘Doha Dad’.
      Keys told The Sun that he was a ‘very lucky man’ ahead of the ceremonyCredit: Wayne Perry
      Julia explained how it began after they moved to Qatar.
      She said: “I remember at Richard’s birthday party — and I haven’t told anyone this before — just as I was leaving, Lucie grabbed my arm and said: “Are you leaving now, Julia?” She was so insistent, and I thought it was odd — then Richard was ages coming home.
      “When I questioned him, he’d said Lucie needed to talk to him as she had a problem.
      “I don’t feel bitter towards Lucie, but deeply disappointed that she could devastate our family like this.”
      At the time Richard denied he had left her for Lucie.
      He also later denied claims that he walked away from his wife while she was battling thyroid cancer.

      He told The Athletic: “I’ll mention the unmentionable for you. Did I leave my wife fighting cancer? No. I don’t know what happened.
      “I don’t know why our marriage ended the way it did, but my wife was fighting cancer for seven years before I left her and she had been in remission for seven years.
      “I know how hard it was for her when things went wrong. I wasn’t going to start engaging in a tit-for-tat, he-said, she-said, respond to everything that was said about me.
      “If people believe that I walked away with my wife fighting cancer with a friend of my daughter’s, I can’t change that now. Tell a lie twice and it becomes the truth. Tell it on social media and it haunts you forever.”
      Sun Sport understands that his daughter Jemma was not in attendance for the bash, which lasted two days with a pool party on the Sunday.
      The party guests were Lucie’s close friends and family, while there were none of his friends or celebrity pals in attendance.
      They couple hired a local band and Australian pianist Greg Agar to play at the wedding.
      His daughter, former Hollyoaks actress Jemma Keys, opened up over the abusive text messages she sent to her best friend after discovering she had slept with her dad.
      Back in 2018 she revealed the betrayal she felt when the affair was discovered and her battle with alcoholism.
      Jemma said she was in a state of “alcoholic blackout” when she sent the messages to Lucie Rose, including one that said: “You’re the filthiest sl** I can ever think of.”
      Jemma revealed: “All I can say is that it was 18 months down the line from finding out about the affair – which was the most awful betrayal – and I’d hit the lowest, darkest point of my addiction.

      “Of course, I can’t justify what I did. But I felt like my father had been stolen from me, and the affair genuinely has destroyed my family and my relationship with Dad.
      “He had been my idol all of my life and, although I still love him, I don’t know who he is any more. I have nothing to say to him.”
      Jemma said she and her mum found out about the affair while the family was on holiday. That then, she said, led to a two-year nightmare including being arrested for the abusive texts.
      At the time of sending the late-night messages she said she was drinking three bottles of wine a day from 8am.
      The charges for harassment were later dropped and Jemma said that she was trying to deal with her alcohol addiction and had been in rehab as she outlined her determination to remain sober.
