Khaldoon Al Mubarak Says Man City Will Fight Premier League Charges
Manchester City chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak has written to supporters to insist the club remains resolute in contesting the Premier League’s financial case, following reports concerning the charges brought against City.
Al Mubarak said the process was far from complete and maintained that the club’s position had not changed since the investigation began. His message came after media reports claimed that an independent commission had reached a verdict on 114 of the 115 allegations against Manchester City.
The chairman acknowledged that the reporting had prompted difficult conversations among supporters, as well as within his own family. He said fans may have spent the evening responding to questions from friends, relatives and colleagues, adding that he had faced the same situation.
“The Premier League process still has a long way to run,” Al Mubarak said. “Our confidence and intent in proving the Club’s innocence is just as strong as when this began.”
Chairman stresses connection with supporters
Al Mubarak, who has been involved with Manchester City for 18 years, framed the statement as a direct message to the club’s worldwide fanbase during a period of intense scrutiny.
He pointed to his experience alongside supporters at the Etihad Stadium, Wembley and Istanbul, venues that reflect the club’s domestic and European successes during his time as chairman. Al Mubarak said Manchester City mattered deeply to him and recognised the importance the club holds for its supporters.
The chairman’s intervention is intended to offer reassurance while the Premier League proceedings continue. City’s central stance remains that they intend to establish their innocence as the case runs its course.
