Etihad Airways has threatened to pursue legal action against the Premier League in the wake of Manchester City’s conviction on financial charges, The Times reports.
City were found guilty on multiple counts in September, triggering a wave of responses from rivals, former players and pundits. Rival clubs have already signalled plans for legal action of their own, and now the club’s principal shirt sponsor has joined the fray.
The airline’s warning marks a significant escalation in the fall-out from the verdict and suggests City’s ownership and commercial partners intend to fight the ruling aggressively on multiple fronts.
