Has highlighted City Chairman Khaldoon al-Mubarak’s discontent with the current predicament.


Manchester City is currently confronting a total of 115 charges from the Premier League for alleged violations of various financial regulations. These charges arise following City’s exceptional season in which they triumphed in the Premier League. Then Champions League, and FA Cup.

Expressing his admiration for the team’s accomplishments, City Chairman Khaldoon al-Mubarak remarked, “The achievements of our players this year are truly remarkable.” He further emphasized the importance of assessing and appreciating the players based on their on-field performance and achievements across all competitions.

The club has been to an independent commission as a result of more than 100 alleged rule breaches that reportedly occurred between 2009 and 2018.


Pep Guardiola, the manager of Manchester City. Has urged for a swift resolution to the ongoing matters. In a recent year-end interview, Khaldoon expressed his frustration. Emphasizing that the situation detracts from the significant progress being made at the club.

While unable to provide extensive commentary on the legal proceedings. Khaldoon affirmed that the club is efficiently managed, stating, “The overall management of the club is of high standard.” He assured that once the matter is resolve. He will openly share his candid perspective.

Manchester city and their domination


Manchester City has been in accusation by the Premier League of violating regulations that mandate the provision of accurate financial information. These regulations encompass various aspects, such as revenue, including sponsorship income, and operating costs.

In response to the charges, Manchester City tells their surprise and asserted that they are backed by an “undeniable body of evidence.”

Khaldoon attributes Manchester City’s success to their capacity to attract “world-class investors” who have constructed a highly efficient “commercial machine” that ranks among the best globally. He confidently asserts, “We hold the top position as the leading football brand worldwide. These are indisputable facts.”

Expanding on their remarkable accomplishment of securing the Treble. Khaldoon believes there is still room for further advancement. City’s upcoming matches in the Super Cup, Club World Cup, and Community Shield present valuable opportunities for them to bolster their legacy.


With the expiration of Pep Guardiola’s contract approaching. There was considerable uncertainty surrounding his future at Manchester City. However, in November, Guardiola quelled the doubts by signing a new contract that extends his managerial tenure until 2025.
