MIKE KEEGAN: The
Premier League's seismic victory over
Manchester City will trigger a series of legal claims for as much as £800m - although the case itself may rumble on for another TWO YEARS‚
Daily Mail Sport understands. On Friday‚ this newspaper reported how
City had been found guilty of the 'vast majority' of the competition's 115 charges against them for financial doping. It can now be disclosed that the
Premier League has succeeded in proving all of the substantive claims. On Saturday‚ the club hit back in the shape of a strong statement from chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak‚ who declared that they remain confident of clearing their name and 'proving the club's innocence'‚ - with an appeal seen as inevitable. In a letter to fans‚ he added: 'we have faced challenges before and prevailed'.
