Man City Chairman Says Club Innocence Stance Unchanged

Manchester City chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak has written to supporters after fresh media reports, saying the club’s belief in its position in the Premier League process remains as strong as ever.

Al Mubarak said he has been part of the club for 18 years and has stood with fans at the Etihad, Wembley and Istanbul. He acknowledged that many supporters, like him, spent Friday evening answering questions from family, friends and colleagues.

He said he told his own family that the legal process still has a long way to go, and that the club’s determination to prove its innocence has not weakened. He added that he could not share more details because of strict legal confidentiality, noting that even his letter had undergone legal checks.

The chairman urged fans to read the club’s Friday statement and its February 2023 statement, saying both remain accurate and important. He said that despite outside noise and quick conclusions from some people, nothing has changed.

Al Mubarak also said City have faced challenges before and overcome them, and that the club will not let anyone undermine its momentum. He pointed to upcoming fixtures after the international break — a trip to Anfield and a Champions League home match against Paris Saint-Germain — as chances for the Manchester City family to come together.

He ended by thanking supporters for their continued backing.
