Pochettino laments 'period of deception' if Man City breaches are true
MANU•
MANU•Mauricio Pochettino said it would confirm “a period of deception” if Manchester City had breached Premier League financial rules. A panel reportedly found City guilty of all but one of 115 alleged breaches, and the club could face fines, a points deduction or relegation.
Former Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino said he was saddened by the panel's finding against Manchester City and argued that any punishment could not undo the damage. City has denied wrongdoing and could face sanctions ranging from fines and a points deduction to relegation.
Pochettino said Tottenham went 18 months without making a transfer while facing the financial demands of building a new stadium. He said the club had been strict with Tottenham but lenient with others.
