It is known what Man City players were told about the investigation into violations of FFP rules
On Monday, September 16th, a court hearing will commence regarding Manchester City's alleged Financial Fair Play violations. Former City center-back Émeric Laporte has revealed what the club's management communicated to the players.
Details: In a comment to the DailyMail, the Spanish defender stated that City’s management reassured the players, asserting that no rules had been broken.
Quote: "When I was there and heard about this news, the sporting director (Txiki Begiristain) and the CEO (Ferran Soriano) came and told all the players and staff that we could all be very calm because Manchester City had not broken any rules.
They assured us that everything was fine, so we all believe that City will be okay. I don’t think there will be any problems. As Pep Guardiola always says, if something was done wrong, they will have to pay for it," said Émeric Laporte.
Reminder: The Premier League accuses Manchester City of providing inaccurate financial information, including details about player and managerial salaries. The investigation began after Der Spiegel published Football Leaks documents in 2018, alleging that the club used UAE sponsors to funnel owner funds.
Football financial expert Kieran Maguire has shared his opinion on how many points Manchester City could be deducted if their financial misconduct is proven.
