Man City charges: Mourinho jokes Premier League case will outlast him | Football | Al Jazeera

Jose Mourinho joked that he may not live to see the end of Manchester City's legal battle with the Premier League, which found City guilty of serious financial rule breaches. The Premier League accused City of using sham commercial agreements to inflate revenue and understate costs by over 900 million pounds between 2009 and 2018, leading to financial misconduct. City has denied the allegations and lodged an appeal. Mourinho, who managed Manchester United from 2016 to 2018, remarked that finishing second behind City in 2017-18 was one of his greatest achievements given City’s financial power.
