Manchester City’s
Premier League rivals reacted angrily on Friday to
Pep Guardiola’s outspoken defence of the club’s alleged financial breaches, which many of them consider to be libellous.
Guardiola singled out
Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy and name-checked eight other clubs he said are lobbying against City, which he claims has pushed the Premier League into issuing more than 100 charges of breaking spending rules.
Guardiola’s outburst came a day after City chief executive Ferran Soriano was seen shaking hands with executives at other clubs at a Premier League meeting in London, a disconnect that has gone down very badly among other members of the top flight.
Several club executives told Sportsmail they strongly deny pushing the Premier League to take action against City, pointing out that the issuing of charges earlier this week followed a four-year investigation in which they played no part.
Levy has received messages of support from other Premier League clubs after Guardiola’s criticism.
