"Man City” reacted to the decision of the independent English "Premier” League commission, which found the club guilty of gross financial rule violations.

Following the announcement of the independent commission's findings, the Manchester club issued an official statement.

"ManCity” is disappointed and surprised by the opinion of the "Premier” League commission announced today.

The club is innocent of the charges laid by the "Premier” League.

We have numerous indisputable pieces of evidence supporting our position on all matters of this case.

Therefore, the club will steadfastly and actively defend its interests in all relevant regulatory and judicial institutions.

For eight years, the club has honestly adhered to all established procedures, hoping that the "Premier” League board and management would act as an independent, impartial, and objective regulatory body, whose decisions are not influenced by interested parties.

It is understood that until all future proceedings are completed, the club has limited ability to provide further comments.”
