Manchester City CEO Soriano says guilty verdicts are ‘a Premier League conspiracy theory’
(opens the publisher’s site)An independent commission has found Manchester City guilty of breaching the Premier League's financial rules, a verdict the club will appeal.
- The independent commission found City guilty of more than 100 charges of breaching the Premier League's financial rules between 2009 and 2018.
- The commission found the club inflated revenue and reduced costs by more than £900m through "sham" sponsorship deals funded mainly by Abu Dhabi.
- Chief executive Ferran Soriano said the verdict rests on "a single false accusation" and a "Premier League conspiracy theory," and City said they will appeal.
- The Premier League said sanctions will be set at a further hearing, with City having until Friday to lodge an appeal.
- Former Manchester United captain Roy Keane said he would throw his medals in the bin if he were a Manchester City player.
- Former City defender Micah Richards said the verdict left him devastated, describing the reports as damning and heartbreaking for fans.
- Premier League chief executive Richard Masters called the verdict the most significant in the competition's history.
- Global media reacted with shock, with international outlets dubbing the affair the 'Manchester City scandal.'
- Manchester City could be forced to pay up to £50m in the Premier League's legal costs, whose bill is expected to exceed £70m.
- Micah Richards said on The Rest Is Football podcast that a long-time fan who phoned him was literally crying over the verdict.
- Pep Guardiola released his first statement since the verdict, saying 'I am behind my club' and vowing the club will get through the situation together.
- Former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher called for City to be stripped of titles won under Guardiola.
