The Club said they submitted the comprehensive appeal on October 1.
Manchester City said the Commission’s opinion contained material errors of law, principle and fact on multiple grounds and was therefore unsafe. “The Club’s firm position is that, on multiple grounds, the opinion contains clear material errors of law, principle and fact and is unsafe,” Manchester City said.
The Club rejected the Premier League’s accusations and maintained that a substantial body of evidence supported every position taken during the disciplinary proceedings. “The Club is innocent of the accusations made by the Premier League, and a comprehensive body of irrefutable evidence exists in support of all of its positions relating to this case,” Manchester City said.
No additional details were provided about the grounds of appeal or the evidence the Club intends to present.
Manchester City said further public comments would be limited while the appeal and associated proceedings continued. “We will continue to respect due process and are necessarily restricted in what we can say further until all proceedings are complete,” the Club said.
