Poch: We lived through a period of deception if Man City guilty

Former manager Mauricio Pochettino stated that football operated under a false premise if Manchester City broke financial regulations, arguing that the situation destroyed sporting fairness and created a period of deception. Pochettino noted that no subsequent penalty can reverse the damage or reset history, highlighting that many competing clubs adhered to regulations while others did not.

Meanwhile, former Stoke City manager Tony Pulis expressed feelings of being cheated after reflecting on the 2011 FA Cup final defeat to City, noting that fans have questioned when their club might receive the trophy while adding that points deductions and financial fines appear more probable than redistributing titles.
