Manchester City chairman responds to media reports on commission decision

Manchester City's chairman, Khaldoon Al Mubarak, has maintained his confidence in the club's innocence despite media reports alleging the club broke Premier League financial rules. In an open letter to supporters, Al Mubarak stated that the legal process is far from over and the club's confidence remains as strong as it was at the beginning.

He emphasized that the confidentiality of the legal proceedings means he cannot provide further details at this time. Al Mubarak referenced a February 2023 statement where the club expressed surprise at the alleged breaches and welcomed an independent commission to review the evidence in their favor. The club reiterated that their position is consistent with the February 2023 statement, asserting that the Premier League process is ongoing and subject to strict confidentiality.

They also noted that the club has adhered to the due process for eight years, expecting the Premier League Board and Executive to behave as an independent, impartial, and fair-minded regulator. The Premier League has declined to comment on the matter.
