Jose Mourinho Mocks Manchester City's Financial Rule Breach Case
Summary
Jose Mourinho has mocked the timeline of Manchester City’s financial rule breach case, saying he may not be around by the time the legal process is finally over. Manchester City are appealing after an independent commission found them guilty of multiple Premier League financial violations, including inflating revenue by more than £900 million.
Key Points
- An independent commission found Manchester City guilty of three of four charges related to Premier League financial rule violations and failure to cooperate with the investigation.
- Manchester City has appealed the ruling, while the Premier League says the club inflated revenue and reduced expenses over a decade.
- Jose Mourinho said the case could take so long that neither he nor Pep Guardiola may be alive to see the final verdict.
- Mourinho has long argued that finishing second behind Guardiola’s City was one of his major achievements because of City’s spending power.
