Brighton boss Fabian Hurzeler has described the ongoing Manchester City financial charges case as a distraction, insisting his focus remains on preparing his team for upcoming matches.<\/p>\n
City have appealed the independent commission\u2019s verdict after being found guilty of breaching financial rules, with the case continuing to attract attention across the Premier League.<\/p>\n
Hurzeler said he would rather concentrate on matters within his control, adding that it was too early to comment on potential sanctions while the appeal process remains ongoing.<\/p>\n
Bournemouth boss Marco Rose also refused to judge City without knowing all the facts, insisting he trusted the authorities handling the case.<\/p>\n
Leeds manager Daniel Farke similarly distanced himself from the controversy, saying his priority was Leeds United rather than matters involving other clubs.<\/p>\n
Newcastle boss Matthias Jaissle echoed those sentiments, arguing that investigating the case was the responsibility of the relevant authorities, not rival managers.<\/p>\n
However, Sunderland boss Regis Le Bris stressed the importance of fair competition, insisting that football rules must be respected and that breaches should have consequences.<\/p>\n
Le Bris added that maintaining fairness was essential to protecting the integrity and value of the Premier League.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
