Manchester City have filed a comprehensive appeal against the Premier League’s Commission opinion, Channel Africa reports.

The club maintains that a substantial body of evidence underpins every position it took during the disciplinary proceedings, describing the evidence as irrefutable and stating that it proves the club’s innocence of the Premier League’s allegations.

Channel Africa notes that no further details were provided about the specific grounds of appeal or the evidence the club intends to present. Manchester City also indicated that public comments would be limited while the appeal and associated proceedings continue, and that the club will continue to respect due‑process requirements.
