City chairman: many want to undermine us, they won't succeed

Khaldoon Al Mubarak, chairman of Manchester City, has sent a letter to the club’s fans and the football world following reports published on Friday about the case concerning the club’s alleged financial breaches.

Given that the Premier League process is still ongoing, Al Mubarak says the club’s position remains the same as it was in 2023 and that nothing has changed despite the noise surrounding the case.

The chairman has been associated with the club for 18 years and appeals to the shared memories with the fans, from the Etihad to Istanbul. His message aims to curb the uncertainty among supporters following the reports and inquiries received on Friday night.

“Some have rushed to draw their own conclusions, and nothing has changed. We have faced other challenges together before and we have prevailed. There are still many who want to undermine our Club’s momentum. We will not give them that opportunity.”

Al Mubarak admits he cannot share details of the club’s defence because of the confidentiality of the legal process, although he insists he is confident of proving the club’s innocence. He notes that the letter itself went through several legal reviews before being sent.

City now face the international break before visiting Anfield in two weeks and hosting Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League at the Etihad. Al Mubarak presents both fixtures as an opportunity to strengthen the unity of the club amid the controversy.
