Manchester –
Manchester City He could lose his championship title if he is proven guilty of Financial Fair Play. Manuel Pellegriniformer manager of The Citizens, was furious.
City was in the spotlight after Everton was sanctioned with a 10 point deduction for financial violations. Because the giant from Manchester was also accused of violating more than 100 financial regulations from 2009 to 2018.
The threat is no joke. Starting from points deduction, title revocation, to being expelled from the Premier League.
Pellegrini, who coached City from 2013 to 2016 and won the Premier League title and two FA Cups, admitted that the sanctions would not be fair. He said that many other teams were also shopping for cheap fishing rods.
“The criticism is unfair,” said Manuel Pellegrini to the Guardian.
“If there was a big difference, maybe, but Chelsea also spent a lot of money, Manchester United spent a lot of money, Liverpool and Arsenal too. When I arrived, Txiki [Begiristain] Dan Ferran [Soriano] haven’t been there long,” he said.
Pellegrini assessed the money spent Manchester City pure investment in football. He gave an example of how he was replaced by Pep Guardiola, who has now led City to dominate England and Europe.
“The work that City are doing is very good, not only with regard to money. For example, they are trading [Roberto] Mancini is with me for football reasons. And then they said: if it’s not Guardiola, it’s you. You then work for three years, then Guardiola comes: there is continuity,” said Pellegrini.
“Other big clubs invested, but couldn’t do it. We saw teams rise, spend 100 million pounds, then go down again. And 100 million euros is an amount that the 18 clubs in Spain can’t afford to spend.”
“The league cannot be abolished because it has been played, with the fans, on the pitch. You are at Wembley, then lift the trophy. Could there be legal action? I hope not. Everything is clear, really. But it (the trophy) cannot be taken away. Try it “Imagine how they took away the trophy? I don’t think being runner up feels like being champion. But the moment is football, like when you win on the field,” gushed Manuel Pellegrini.
