‘Got to believe’ – Man City Wembley hero speaks on guilty verdicts

Former Manchester City striker Paul Dickov has urged supporters to keep faith in the club's ownership following an independent panel's guilty verdict on Premier League charges. Speaking during visits to local supporters clubs alongside OSC general secretary Kevin Parker, Dickov stated that there is a cloud over the club, but emphasized that fans should trust statements from chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak and Ferran Soriano.

The independent panel found Manchester City guilty of multiple breaches, including disguising equity as sponsorship and failing to co-operate with investigations. The club is currently appealing the decision, with leadership insisting they will ultimately be cleared. Dickov noted that external commentary is premature while appeals and potential sanctions remain unresolved.
