Manchester City charges latest: Premier League process 'still has long way to run': Chairman issues statement over 'breaches'

Man City faced 115 charges of breaching the Premier League's financial rules. The club has always denied the allegations, but if the guilty verdicts are confirmed, it could face major penalties.

Manchester City chairman Khaldoon al Mubarak released a statement on the club's website, saying the "Premier League process still has a long way to run".

He said the club's "confidence and intent" in proving their innocence "is just as strong as when this began".

In a message to fans, he acknowledged that "many of you will have spent your [Friday] evening answering questions and responding to messages from friends, family and colleagues".

There are "so many things that I would like to be able to share with you to help you understand why we feel so confident in our position", al Mubarak said.

But because of the "strict confidentiality of the legal process" and the club's respect of proceedings, the chair said that's not possible at the moment.

"Even this letter underwent several legal checks to make sure it complies," he added.

Al Mubarak acknowledged there is "so much noise swirling around us" and that "some people have been quick to reach their own conclusions", adding the club has faced previous challenges and "prevailed".
