Manchester City has been found guilty of 114 out of 115 financial breach charges by the Premier League. The club was cleared of just one charge, related to a transfer fee. The decision comes after a lengthy investigation into the club's financial practices. The Premier League is expected to announce a punishment within weeks.
The ruling has sparked reactions from former managers and players. Mauricio Pochettino, who previously managed Tottenham and Chelsea, criticized the lack of sporting justice. He called the verdict a "period of deception" and expressed disappointment.
Norway's national team coach, Stale Solbakken, also responded to the verdict. He was upset by suggestions that Manchester City may have influenced the decision regarding Erling Haaland's future. Haaland's contract situation remains a key point of discussion.
The club's former youth star, Courtney Meppen-Walter, has died at the age of 32. His former club Bury has paid tribute to him. The tragedy highlights the personal impact of the club's ongoing legal issues.
