"All I want is justice" - Jose Mourinho responds when asked if he wants Manchester City punished for alleged FFP violations

Fenerbahce manager Jose Mourinho has spoken about the Financial Fair Play charges against Manchester City. Ahead of his side's Europa League clash against Athletic Bilbao, the Portuguese boss insisted that justice needs to be served in the matter.

Manchester City have been accused of a multitude of financial violations, mainly dealing with incorrect representation of income and failure to adhere to UEFA's financial rules. The hearing over the situation with the Premier League concluded recently, but a final decision is expected to take time.

Talking about the situation, Mourinho said (via Fanatik):

"Pep and I worked together for 3 years, we know we love each other. It is not true that I want them to be relegated, what is true is that I want justice. Small teams can sometimes be penalised by FFP when they exceed their limits by 5-10 euros."

“I also suffered due to the limits when I was at Roma. I don’t think this is fair. We love each other, he knows it. Words are one thing, feelings are another. All I want is justice, but we have no ill feelings towards each other.”

City manager Guardiola and Mourinho engaged in a war of words following the Cityzens' dreadful run of results in recent weeks. The reigning Premier League champions have won just one of their last nine matches across competitions.

After being compared to Mourinho for his adversarial reactions during City's poor run of form, Guardiola pointed out that he has been more successful in the Premier League than the Portuguese tactician. The former Manchester United boss responded by question the legality of City's victories.

Pep Guardiola makes interesting claim about future despite signing contract extension with Manchester City

Guardiola stated that he was losing energy.

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola cast some doubt over his future at the club with his comments in a recent interview. The Spaniard signed a two-year extension in November but has now suggested that he may not see out the deal.

Guardiola said (via Mirror):

"I want to leave it and go and play golf but I can’t."

"A time will come when I feel it’s enough and I’ll definitely stop then. I’m not going to manage another team. I’m not talking about the long-term future but what I’m not going to do is leave Manchester City and go to another country to do the same thing as I am now."

Manchester City are in the midst of their worst run of form under the Spaniard, picking up a solitary win in their last nine games. They will be hoping to get back on track with a win over Juventus in the Champions League on Wednesday, December 11.
