POLICY WIRE — Manchester, England — Manchester City manager Enzo Maresca has claimed that the club’s supporters have experienced the greatest hardship from the fallout of the Premier League’s 115 financial charges against the team, following a 3-0 victory over Liverpool at Anfield on Sunday.

The match saw Liverpool fans greet City players with boos and chants of “Going down, going down!” as speculation about potential sanctions grew after the club was found guilty of breaching financial regulations. Despite the controversy, City maintained their unbeaten start to the Premier League season and remain three points clear at the top ahead of their Champions League clash with Paris Saint-Germain.
