Thomas Tuchel reveals Man City discussions within England camp after guilty verdict
England head coach Thomas Tuchel confirmed that the recent guilty verdict against Manchester City regarding financial mismanagement has been a significant topic of conversation within the England national team camp. The club is currently appealing the ruling, which could result in severe penalties.
Why it matters
The high-profile nature of the Premier League's case against Manchester City has created a distraction for players involved in international duty.
Thomas Tuchel has revealed the guilty verdict against Manchester City has been a hot topic of discussion within the England camp in recent days.
On Tuesday afternoon, the Premier League published a strongly-worded statement that accused City of arranging "sham" contracts and relying on "sham" agreements over a a nine-year period during which an independent commission found them guilty of 114 of the 115 charges against them relating to financial mismanagement.
City are expected to be handed a severe and unprecedented punishment if the Premier League ruling is upheld after an appeal.
The Manchester club has confirmed it has lodged an official appeal against the ruling ahead of Friday's deadline to do so.
City have insisted throughout that they have a body of "irrefutable evidence" that proves their innocence.
