EXPOSED! READ How Nine Clubs Instructed Premier League To BAN Man City
Pep Guardiola, the manager of Manchester City, has said that up to nine clubs wrote to the Premier League requesting that the defending champions be suspended.
This was said by Guardiola in response to Chelsea’s January transfer window spending spree.
The Blues have added new players for more than €600 million since the summer transfer window.
In addition to Enzo Fernandez, who was transferred for a record-breaking €120 million from Benfica, Graham Potter’s team also received seven other players over the course of the previous month.
Guardiola responded when asked what would happen if City spent the same amount:
“I know what would happen.
“What Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool, United, without good players you have to spend. Now the market is ‘wow’.
“There are regulations, I don’t forget the eight or nine teams that sent a letter to the Premier League to get us banned. We are the fifth team in net spend.”
