The chairman of the board of English Manchester City, Khaldoon Al-Mubarak, said that the football club intends to prove its innocence in the case of violating the financial rules of the English Premier League (EPL).
On Friday, the media reported that Manchester City was found guilty of 114 out of 115 counts of violating the financial rules of the Premier League. It was noted that the Premier League is considering the case and possible punishment options, and the “townspeople” will file an appeal.
"Following Friday's media coverage, many of you may have spent the evening fielding questions and messages from friends, family and colleagues. So have I. This is what I have told my family: the Premier League investigation is far from over and our confidence and determination to prove the club's innocence remains as strong as it was at the outset," Al-Mubarak said in a statement published on the Manchester City website.
“Although some have rushed to their own conclusions, and there has been a lot of noise around us, in fact, nothing has changed. We have overcome difficulties together before and emerged victorious. There are still many who want to undermine the forward movement of our club. We will not give them such an opportunity,” the chairman added.
