The teams in the Premier League rejected joining Manchester City in their appeal against UEFA for the sanction imposed on the club. The refusal of the other English league teams generated frustration within the City management, who hoped to receive support on this matter. A Manchester City spokesperson stated: "We are disappointed with the response from the Premier League clubs that refused to offer their support on this important issue."
The sanction imposed by UEFA on Manchester City consists of a two-year ban from participating in European competitions and a fine of 30 million euros, due to alleged breaches of financial fair play. Despite this decision, the club has shown determination to appeal and has assured that it will prove its innocence before the Court of Arbitration for Sport. The rejection of the other Premier League teams to support City in their appeal has generated significant controversy in the English football world.
