Etihad to Seek Legal Advice After Premier League’s Man City Findings
Etihad Airways rejects any implication of wrongdoing and says the Premier League’s public handling of the findings damaged its reputation.
- On Wednesday, Etihad Airways announced it is seeking legal advice after criticizing the Premier League's handling of an independent commission's findings against Manchester City.
- The Premier League reported on Tuesday that Manchester City used "sham" commercial contracts to inflate revenue and understate costs by more than £900 million over nearly a decade.
- Etihad, the club's principal sponsor since 2009, "categorically rejects any finding, conclusion or implication" of involvement in improper commercial arrangements, stating the league never consulted them during the process.
- The airline argued the league's "lack of clarity and transparency" and selective disclosure of information has "created damaging implications" for Etihad, despite the company not being named in the published decision.
- Manchester City denies wrongdoing and intends to appeal the commission's conclusions, while a Premier League spokesperson declined to comment on the airline's statement on Wednesday.
