🚨 | FULL STATEMENT: Etihad Airways on the #ManCity Commission findings:
“Etihad categorically rejects any finding, conclusion or implication that suggests the airline has ever been involved in improper commercial arrangements.
“The Premier League’s public communication of the Commission’s findings, following a period of selective leaks and reporting, has further created damaging implications for Etihad despite the airline not being named in the redacted published findings.
“At no time did the Premier League reach out to or engage with Etihad in the process associated with the Commission’s opinion.
“Etihad was therefore never given the opportunity by the Premier League to be represented, to provide relevant information, or to ensure the accuracy and fairness of information relied upon in reaching conclusions that may now be interpreted as reflecting adversely on the airline.
“Etihad is deeply concerned by the way this matter has been communicated publicly. The lack of clarity and transparency, together with the selective disclosure of information, has created damaging implications for Etihad despite the airline not being named in the published decision.
“The Premier League must take responsibility for the consequences of the way in which these findings have been presented.
“We stand with the Club, its supporters and our wider Etihad community as Manchester City challenges the Commission’s conclusions through the processes available to it.
“Etihad will seek the relevant legal counsel on the options and recourse available to protect its interests.”

🚨 | BREAKING: #ManCity were CLEARED of Charge 4(B).
That allegation formed part of the Premier League’s case that City failed to co-operate with its investigation — but the Commission found the club did not breach its co-operation duties in the respects alleged under 4(B).
Manchester City should be punished if they broke the rules, but relegation or stripping their titles feels disproportionate. Unless there was match-fixing, referee bribery or direct interference with results, the titles were still won on the pitch. Punish the breach, not the footballing achievements.
TROPHIES ARE WON ON THE PITCH, NOT IN A COURT ROOM.
