Hart Backs Al Mubarak
Former Manchester City goalkeeper Joe Hart has backed club chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak. Hart says he trusts the chairman's claims that the club will prove its innocence. This comes despite expectations that City will be found guilty of most of their Premier League financial rule breaches.
Hart, who played for Manchester City between 2006 and 2016, explained that he has nothing but love and respect for Al Mubarak. He feels there is no reason to doubt the club's leadership. He described the chairman as someone who has led him and the club brilliantly. For Hart, what the chairman has said is enough to keep his trust.
The Charges and the Club's Response
Manchester City are facing 115 charges from the Premier League. The league has called this a private and confidential process. City have not denied the guilty verdict but say the process is still ongoing.
Al Mubarak recently released a statement saying that nothing has changed regarding the legal battle. He said the club's confidence in proving their innocence is just as strong as when the case started. Hart said he loved how the chairman spoke. He appreciated the message because it came from someone who cares about the club.
Speculation and Trust
Hart pointed out that everything right now is just speculation. He said he has heard everyone else discuss the issue and say whatever they want about something that has not been proven yet.
The former goalkeeper explained that he will let the process play out. He remains confident and calm about the situation. He added that he is proud of what he achieved with the team and that feeling will not change. If City are found guilty, Hart says there will be conversations to be had, but he does not think they will be found guilty because of what Al Mubarak said. He insists that nothing concrete has happened yet in this legal battle.
