Jose Mourinho has issued a scathing response to Pep Guardiola after the Man City boss reminded fans that he had won twice as many Premier League titles as the Portuguese manager.
The Fenerbahçe manager, who won three titles with Chelsea, said via Sporx:
'Guardiola said something to me yesterday. He won six trophies and I won three, but I won fairly and cleanly. 'If I lost, I want to congratulate my opponent because he was better than me. I don't want to win by dealing with 150 lawsuits.'
Mourinho was clearly making reference to the 115 charges than City are currently facing. City face potential relegation from the Premier League over the 115 charges levelled at them for allegedly breaching the English football body’s financial rules.
The proceedings, which began back in September, were shrouded in mystery initially, before it was later revealed that it was being held at the International Dispute Resolution Centre in London (IDRC) - which is near St Paul’s Cathedral in the City of London. On Wednesday, Premier League barristers Andrew Hunter KC and Adam Lewis KC of Blackstone Chambers were seen making their way to the centre for closing statements. Should Lewis and his legal team prove City are guilty of the most serious financial breaches, the club could face severe punishments such as relegation or a significant points deduction. All of City's 115 charges will be investigated, reviewed and analysed by an independent commission.
