Man City CEO slams "Premier League conspiracy theory"
Ferran Soriano said the club will appeal, calling the ruling wrong and citing 115 financial charges that covered eight seasons.
- On Tuesday, Manchester City chief executive officer Ferran Soriano claimed the guilty verdict against the club is the result of a "Premier League conspiracy theory" and vowed to appeal the ruling.
- An independent commission found the Blues guilty of every financial charge in the 115 case, which has dragged a shadow over football for three years.
- In a video message to club staff, Soriano insisted that "irrefutable evidence" demonstrates owner money did not secretly enter the club via Abu Dhabi sponsors.
- Lawyers will file an appeal, arguing the Premier League Commission's opinion contains "clear material errors of law, principle, and fact" and is unsafe.
- Recalling the 2020 success at CAS, Soriano promised to take all necessary action to protect City and seek compensation from any party that tries to damage it.
