Erling Haaland tells Manchester City supporters to “stick together” and “stay positive” following the club’s guilty verdict over Premier League financial-rule breaches. Multiple outlets describe it as his first public comments since the ruling, with Haaland also calling for calm and unity as City prepares for the next match at Liverpool’s Anfield.
The reports say an independent commission found City guilty of nearly all charges brought under Premier League financial regulations, prompting the club to appeal. Sources note the scale of the case, including more than 100 charges, and outline potential consequences that could include sporting sanctions such as points deductions or other penalties. City and the players maintain that the club denies wrongdoing while the appeal process continues. Ahead of the Anfield game, outlets also highlight expectations of a hostile reception and frame Haaland’s message as a call to focus on performance on the pitch while remaining optimistic despite the ongoing legal and disciplinary process.
