Erling Haaland says that he is not afraid that Manchester City will be punished in the 'legal affair of the century' of football.
Manchester City is waiting for the results of the process in their 115 alleged infringements of the financial rules of the Premier League.
They are accused of a number of offenses for a period of nine years between 2009 and 2018, including not providing accurate details about player and manager contracts, not providing accurate financial information and not collaborating with the subsequent investigation by the Premier League. City has always denied misconduct.
If they are found guilty of the more serious alleged infringements, relegation is the most serious punishment, while the club also risks big fines and points deduction.
But Haaland who wrote a contract extension of nine and a half years in January, with a total income that it is believed to be almost £ 1 million a week state that he is not afraid of the ghost of punishment.
“I am clearly not afraid of that when I sign a 9.5 year contract,” he told Fotball Norge.
Haaland would not have a shortage of lovers if the worst happened for the city – the Norwegian has 29 goals in all competitions in a casual totals of 52 and 38 followed in his first two seasons in Manchester.
Of the 115 costs, the city is confronted with 54 accusations of not providing accurate and up-to-date financial information to the League from 2009-10 to 2017-18.
This allows the FFP to include a 'real and honest' representation of the income of a club with sponsor offers and their operating costs, involving the salaries of the player.
Thirty-five of the Court of Appeal relates to their alleged failures to collaborate with the Premier League investigation into their behavior between December 2018 and February 2023.
Each club in the Premier League registers with a compliance code, which essentially translates into clubs that agrees to behave and provide the competition with accurate and current accounts that are expected to be checked every year.
In recent years, the city has been accused of inflating the value of their sponsorship that are connected to their owners.
They are also confronted with 14 costs for not providing accurate financial reports for player and manager compensation for those seasons.
