Rodri said he believes Manchester City is innocent after reports that an independent panel found the club guilty on 114 of 115 Premier League financial-rule charges. City says the process remains ongoing, with significant elements still to be completed.
Rodri said City had repeatedly expressed confidence in its innocence. He also cited a similar process in 2020, saying “nothing happened” in the end, and said his view was informed by seeing how the club worked and cooperated.
City said its position remains consistent with its February 2023 statement and that it had respected due process for eight years, expecting the Premier League Board and Executive to act independently and impartially. The club is expected to challenge the reported ruling, though the panel’s ultimate determination may take an extended period.
