Etihad Airways says it will seek legal advice after Manchester City is found guilty of seriously breaching Premier League financial rules. The airline, which has been the club’s principal sponsor since 2009, says the ruling prompts it to consider its options, according to reports.
Etihad describes the case as involving claims related to improper commercial arrangements and states it categorically rejects any finding, conclusion, or implication that it was involved in such arrangements. Outlets differ slightly in emphasis: some frame the response as Etihad preparing to pursue legal action against the Premier League, while others report that it is focused on obtaining legal counsel following the verdict.
