'Period of deception' - Pochettino on Man City verdict

Mauricio Pochettino has slammed Manchester City following an independent panel ruling that found the club guilty of 114 out of 115 Premier League financial charges spanning from the 2009-10 season onward. The United States national team boss, who previously managed Southampton, Tottenham Hotspur, and Chelsea during that era, argued that the breaches destroyed sporting fairness and left a lasting legacy of deception.

Pochettino questioned the lack of oversight during those years, recalling how his old Tottenham side had to spend eighteen months without making any transfers due to strict adherence to financial rules while building their new stadium. As Manchester City prepares to challenge the verdict, rival top-flight clubs are currently seeking legal advice to explore potential compensation claims.
