Man City lodges 'comprehensive' appeal after being found guilty of financial rule-breaking
Manchester City has lodged a “comprehensive” appeal, it said Friday, following the publication of a report by an independent commission detailing large-scale financial rule-breaking by the club
“The club’s firm position is that, on multiple grounds, the opinion contains clear material errors, of law, principle and fact, and is unsafe,” City said of the verdict published by the Premier League on Tuesday.
City reasserted it is “innocent of the accusations made by the Premier League,” adding: “A comprehensive body of irrefutable evidence exists in support of all of its positions, relating to this case.”
