Manchester City held settlement talks with the Premier League in the early stages of the financial breach case against them, according to reports.
Manchester City reportedly engaged in early-stage settlement discussions with the Premier League regarding their alleged financial breaches, according to a report by Bloomberg UK. The talks broke down quickly and occurred before the club was reportedly found guilty of over 100 regulatory violations. Both Manchester City and the Premier League declined to comment on the matter.
Bloomberg noted that rival clubs including Arsenal and Liverpool likely would have opposed an agreement. Dan Critchlow argues that settling contradicts Manchester City's claims of having irrefutable evidence of innocence, stating that rival supporters expect significant sanctions rather than a compromise.
