· Sports · BBC Sport, Indian Express
Manchester City manager Enzo Maresca stated that the club's titles are absolutely not tainted following their guilty verdict on the majority of 115 Premier League charges. The independent commission found Manchester City guilty of financial regulation breaches spanning between the 2009-10 and 2017-18 seasons, prompting an appeal from the club. Maresca expressed complete trust in the club's owners, CEO, and sporting director, adding that he expects the verdict to be overturned on appeal. Preparing for an away match against Liverpool on Sunday, Maresca maintained that his players remain focused entirely on the football pitch and unaffected by external noise. The club's legal statement previously criticized the commission's ruling for containing clear errors of law, principle, and fact.
Why it matters
