Manchester City has released an official statement following the Premier League commission's decision, which found the club guilty of serious financial violations.
In the statement, the club expressed their disappointment and surprise at the commission's opinion published today. They maintain their innocence against the charges put forth by the Premier League, asserting that they possess a comprehensive array of irrefutable evidence to back their stance. As a result, the club vows to act unyieldingly and, where necessary, proactively within all relevant regulatory and legal frameworks.
Furthermore, the club emphasised that the Premier League process is not yet complete and highlighted what they consider to be 'clear material errors in law, principles, and facts' within the commission's decision, deeming it fundamentally flawed. Manchester City intends to explore all available avenues for appeal.
The statement also pointed out that for the past eight years, the club has diligently adhered to procedural norms, relying on the integrity and impartiality of Premier League leadership. However, at this stage, their ability to provide further detailed comments is limited until all upcoming legal proceedings are concluded.
