Jamie Carragher believes Man City will never get the respect they fully deserve whilst the cloud of 115 charges hangs over the club.
Pep Guardiola's side will lift a fourth straight Premier League title with victory over West Ham on Sunday, something no other team has managed in the competition's history.
But the former Liverpool star believes the ongoing financial investigation surrounding Man City means that they will never be fully appreciated for their current success in the Premier League.
In a comment column for The Telegraph, Carragher argues that Manchester City 'are the best Premier League side this country has ever seen', and dubs Guardiola 'the greatest manager of the modern era' for winning six titles at the club, if they prevail at the weekend.
