Hart trusts Man City chair Khaldoon over ruling

Former Manchester City goalkeeper Joe Hart has expressed confidence in club chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak following the Premier League's ruling against his former team. City has been found guilty of the majority of 115 breaches of financial rules, but are set to appeal the decision. Al Mubarak stated that he is still committed to proving the club's innocence and that the process has a long way to run.

Hart, who spent 10 years at City from 2006 to 2016, praised Al Mubarak and said he has no reason not to trust him. The former goalkeeper believes that the club's achievements are not tarnished and that there is nothing concrete to suggest guilt. Hart added that if the club is found guilty, discussions will be had, but he is currently confident and calm.
