Enzo Maresca, the new boss of Manchester City, has expressed confidence that the club will prevail in their appeal against the guilty verdict handed down by an independent commission. The commission found City guilty of serious breaches of Premier League financial rules, alleging that the club arranged "sham" contracts with commercial partners to artificially inflate its revenues by £830m between 2009/10 and 2017/18.
Speaking at his first press conference since the verdict, Maresca stated that he "100 per cent completely trusts" the club's hierarchy, insisting that they are "convinced" they will win the appeal. The club's appeal comes after they described the original judgement as "opinion" and claimed it contained "clear material errors, of law, principle and fact and is unsafe".
