In the latest episode of the podcast "Talking Manchester City", Simon Bajkowski, Manchester City correspondent for Manchester Evening News, discusses Manchester City's position regarding the charges brought against them.

Bajkowski stated: "There is talk that Manchester City has many complaints about the process and the way Premier League has brought all these charges against the club, and you can imagine these complaints will be raised again in the appeal."

"Manchester City calls the ruling unreliable, suggesting that this case has taken an extremely long time to resolve, and if you try to remember what a witness said two years ago, how can you definitively determine whether a witness perjured themselves or not?"

"The reason Manchester City is appealing the guilty verdict is because they believe they have legitimate grounds and evidence, and they have also spent significant money hiring professional legal representatives who attended the 11-week trial."

"When Manchester City was found guilty on so many charges, people within the club were surprised because these individuals are experienced, understand how legal cases unfold, and after 11 weeks of trial, the feeling clearly wasn't 'we lost on every charge'."

"Therefore, they believe that a different group of people might reach a different conclusion. However, beyond the procedural issues, there is also the core evidence: the Premier League claims that Manchester City's owners or executives covertly injected equity into the club and disguised it as sponsorship funding."

"The club, on the other hand, says the sponsors were short of funds and couldn't pay on their own, so they approached the Abu Dhabi government to obtain the money. Therefore, the funds came from the Abu Dhabi government, not from the club itself, and that is not a violation."

"When Manchester City claims to have incontrovertible evidence, it is to prove this very point. Their evidence shows that funds did not flow from Manchester City to sponsors and then back to Manchester City's account, but rather from the Abu Dhabi government to sponsors, and then paid by sponsors to Manchester City."
