Roberto Mancini, who managed Manchester City from 2009 to 2013, has moved to distance himself from the 115 charges currently leveled against the club by the Premier League. The charges, which relate to alleged financial irregularities spanning several years, have placed the club under intense scrutiny. Mancini’s decision to speak out comes as the club prepares to defend its record against the allegations.

Manchester City has consistently maintained that the charges are unfounded. The club has stated publicly that it possesses "irrefutable evidence" to prove that it did not break any financial rules during the period in question. The legal process remains ongoing, and the club has expressed confidence that the evidence will ultimately clear them of any wrongdoing.

While the club remains firm in its stance, Mancini’s comments highlight the desire of former staff to avoid being associated with the current controversy. There is no suggestion of personal wrongdoing by Mancini, but his public distancing underscores the significant reputational pressure the club faces as it navigates this complex legal challenge. The case remains one of the most significant investigations in the history of the Premier League, with the outcome likely to have long-term implications for the club's standing and future operations.
