Manchester City chief executive Ferran Soriano has refused to publicly comment after being asked to address the club being found guilty of engaging in a scheme to inflate revenues and reduce costs by almost £1billion over a nine-season period.
Premier League chief executive Richard Masters called the case, and the decision, “the most significant in Premier League history”. City have repeated denied all charges, and have confirmed they will appeal, stating the commission’s decision “contains clear material errors, of law, principle and fact, and is unsafe”.
