In a note titled ‘Manchester City check: a machine to spend money’, the newspaper Brand, from Spain, says this Monday in its digital edition that “it had to arrive and it has arrived. Suspicions about a possible foul play by Manchester City have been raised in the air after an official statement from the Premier League against the British club. Specifically, the English league speaks of ‘numerous alleged breaches of financial rules’ over several seasons (since the 2009-2010 campaign, apparently)”.

“The City case will be judged by an independent commission, which will be the one who has to decide if the Etihad Stadium team is guilty and what sanction it deserves for the hundred irregularities that the Premier League understands that it has committed”, reports Sports worldfrom Barcelona.

The entity accused of committing irregularities has already issued a brief comment. “Manchester City FC is shocked by the publication of these alleged breaches of the Premier League Rules, particularly given the extensive commitment and large amount of detailed materials that have been provided to the Premier League,” reads the brief official statement. .

The current English champion’s newsletter closes like this: “The club welcomes the review of this matter by an independent Commission, to impartially consider the full body of irrefutable evidence that exists in support of its position. We hope this matter will be put to rest once and for all.”
Not even the pandemic stopped him
For Brand, “unlike other continental giants, City’s economy was immune even to a pandemic and, while others had to contain their spending, the citizens leaders continued to pull the checkbook to sign one star after another. The result, an All Star of players with the final icing on the crown jewel: Eerling Haaland. 70 million euros for Borussia Dortmund ($75 million), commission of 40 million for the agent ($42.88 million) and another 30 kilos for the father ($32 million)”.
The commission that will investigate City’s finances has the power to apply sanctions ranging from relegation to loss of points this season, as results from other seasons are unlikely to be affected by this case.
City can also receive economic fines, as happened in 2020, when UEFA sanctioned them with 30 million euros, which were reduced to 10 after appealing to the Court of Arbitration for Sport. The commission can also prevent City from signing up new players. (D)
