Man City CEO defiant over Premier League charges
Soriano said the club will fight the ruling as rivals weigh compensation claims that could reach hundreds of millions of pounds, sources said.
- On Friday, the Premier League confirmed Manchester City was found guilty of nearly all 115 financial charges brought against the club following a four-year investigation, though no sanctions have been announced.
- An independent commission found the club operated a "disguised funding scheme" between 2009 and 2018 to artificially inflate revenue by more than £830m through failures to provide accurate financial details.
- Chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak reiterated the club's denial on Saturday, asserting "confidence and intent in proving the club's innocence," while City confirmed its intent to appeal the verdict.
- Former Liverpool managing director Christian Purslow told the BBC that rival clubs would be "queuing up to seek compensation" after being informed of the decision.
- Legal experts predict the appeals process could take 6 to 12 months, with potential sanctions ranging from massive fines to points deductions or expulsion, casting doubt on the Premier League champions' future.
