Manchester City has been found guilty of 114 out of 115 charges for breaking Premier League financial rules between 2009 and 2018. During those years, the club won three league titles, one FA Cup, and three League Cups.
The verdict has raised questions about whether those results were fair. U.S. national team manager Mauricio Pochettino said the situation is difficult. He noted that his former club Tottenham finished third in 2017-18, behind Manchester City. He also pointed out that Chelsea broke similar rules in 2016-17, when Tottenham finished second. Other clubs may have lost points or trophies because of these violations. Pochettino said finding the right punishment will not be easy.
