Pochettino: City case shows 'period of deception'

Former Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino has claimed the Premier League has 'lived through a period of deception' if Manchester City is found guilty of extensive financial rule violations.

British media reported that City has been found guilty of most of the 115 alleged breaches, though the news is not officially confirmed. Possible sanctions could include demotion and title stripping, with Pochettino taking precautions assuming City is actually convicted. turconews.click

'No punishment can make up for the damage done to football,' Pochettino stated, emphasizing that many clubs followed the rules while others did not. City's chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak remains 'confident' of proving the club's innocence.
