Enzo Maresca met the media at a press conference for the first time since his club, Manchester City, were found guilty of breaching the Premier League’s financial rules by an independent commission.
Over the international break, the commission’s verdict that Man City were guilty of 114 rules breaches was announced and the club have since appealed against the decision. City face a trip to Anfield on Sunday in what is expected to be a hostile atmosphere, with Liverpool one of the teams most affected by City’s “sham” contracts and disguised funding that amounted to more than £900m over a nine-year period between 2009 and 2018.
