On Monday, the Blues were hit with the bombshell that the Premier League had filed more than 100 individual breach allegations against them that stretch back to 2009. City soon released a statement saying the club was "surprised” by the accusations but pledged to clear their name in due course.

"If you know what the football industry is about, then I am very sceptical when people start pointing fingers. Do the best for yourself and let's try and improve all the time. But I am a little bit sceptical when the fingers get pointed easily."
