🚨 Manchester City CEO Ferran Soriano says “the whole Premier League case against us is based on a single false accusation”.
Also added “the independent commission issued an opinion that supports the Premier League's conspiracy theory”.
Full statement ⤵️
I want to share some information related to the ongoing disciplinary process between Manchester City and the Premier League. A document has been made public with an opinion of the Premier League commission that is negative to our interests. I want to explain exactly what this is, the next steps and how we are going to continue to defend the club and finally be vindicated in this process.
This has gone on for so long that it’s important to remind ourselves that the whole Premier League case against us is based on a single false accusation—that the owner's personal money was somehow and secretly put into the club via some sponsors from Abu Dhabi. This is just not true. Irrefutable evidence has been provided to the Premier League commission that shows it could not happen and that it did not happen. This includes bank statements, money transfers, witnesses and everything necessary to categorically demonstrate the money did not come from the owner.
Every other false charge that has been thrown at us and aggressively marketed and promoted comes from that simple, central, and completely false accusation.
Surprisingly for us and for our lawyers, after nearly two years, the Premier League commission has issued an opinion that supports the Premier League's conspiracy theory. To do so, the opinion had to actually ignore the extensive evidence provided by the club in order to reach a conclusion that is clearly wrong.
Our lawyers will now file an appeal that sets out that the opinion contains clear material errors of law, principle and fact and it is unsafe.
Remember we have been here before. In 2020 we were also wrongly ruled against for many of the same issues.
We appealed to an independent body in CAS and we won. We will now be relentless in our work. We will focus on the independent appeal process and also all other legal avenues available to us in order to win the case.
And we will take all necessary action to protect the club and seek compensation from any party that tries to damage it now and in the future.
I know this can be a bit of a distraction. But please remain focused on our business and taking care of our extended city family as we always do.
Please follow the normal protocols in referring to fan, partner, and media inquiries. Very soon, we will look back at this and recognize it as another time in our history when we dealt with adversity and overcame it together. Thank you."

This archival video depicts Ojukwu, Zik and Enahoro at the “political solution” summit between Nigeria and Biafra in Ethiopia in 1968. I posted it to underscore the abiding imperative of political solution to every political conflict.
It is noteworthy that it was Nigeria that had initiated this 1968 dialogue, but it thereafter pedaled back to renege on it, just like it did with #Aburi. Why? Because Nigeria was more interested in annihilating Biafra than coming to terms with. And in doing so, more precious lives were lost. Is it any different today?
So, the lesson learned is this: Agitating for a separate State is a political issue, not a legal or judicial issue. Thus, it can never be resolved by resorting to persecutions that masquarade as prosecutions, or even by some military conquest. Instead, what is required is to come to terms with it.
Otherwise, it turns to a festering sore that persists until the government of the day does the right thing by pivoting to the reality of constructive engagement. That time is now, but it lies entirely with the government to make that choice.
Roberto Mancini, who never answered the questions from the journalists who analyzed the Football Leaks documents, is now rushing to minimize the issue of his Consultancy Agreements, signed with his companies 'Sparkleglow Holdings' in Mauritius and 'Italy International Services' in Rome.
"Not my concern. It’s their issue, not mine", he says.
The idea may have come from Manchester City executives, but knowingly accepting such a side arrangement raises a serious moral question, to say the least.
