Man City must 'stick together' during crisis, says Haaland

Erling Haaland has urged Manchester City to remain united during the club's current crisis, following its guilty verdict for breaking Premier League financial rules. The independent commission found that City utilized sham commercial contracts to inflate revenue and reduce expenses by over £900 million ($1.2 billion) between 2009 and 2018.

This has resulted in a potential points penalty or even expulsion from the Premier League. Haaland, who joined the club in 2022, emphasized the importance of staying positive, enjoying the moment, and supporting each other. He stated, "We have to stick together, and we have to spread the love to each other." City manager Enzo Maresca echoed this sentiment, expressing his calmness and trust in the club, with the focus on football rather than external noise.
