  "account": "Thomas Tuchel, the Manchester City manager, stated that he did not feel the need to discuss the recent bombshell verdict regarding City's breaches of Premier League financial rules with his England players during a crucial Nations League match in Czechia. The independent commission had found City guilty of all charges related to the \"sham deals\" between 2009-10 and 2017-18, and the team was facing severe sanctions. The verdict was announced just before England's match against the Czech Republic, causing significant disruption to the players' focus. Tuchel, however, did not bring up the issue with his England teammates, instead focusing on their preparation for the game.",
