Former Stoke Boss Pulis 'Cheated' over FA Cup Final Loss to Man City
Tony Pulis said Stoke were cheated in the 2011 final as Manchester City face possible punishment after being found guilty on 114 of 115 charges.
- Former Stoke manager Tony Pulis said he feels "cheated" after Manchester City was reportedly found guilty on Friday of all but one of 115 charges brought by the Premier League, casting doubt on their 1-0 victory in the 2011 FA Cup final.
- An independent commission investigation into alleged financial breaches between 2009 and 2018 placed City under scrutiny. The club faced accusations of failing to provide accurate financial information and lacking cooperation, with the hearing lasting around 12 weeks.
- Writing for BBC Sport on Sunday, Pulis stated he does not expect City to "offer back the 2011 FA Cup," adding that the verdict left "a very sour taste in my mouth" despite City's expected appeal.
- Manchester City chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak stated Saturday he remains confident of proving the club's innocence, with City expected to appeal any eventual punishment the Premier League has yet to formally announce.
- Since Sheikh Mansour's takeover by Abu Dhabi United Group in 2008, City has dominated English football; critics now call for the club to be stripped of all Premier League titles won during the investigation period.
