City sponsor Etihad considers legal action vs. PL

Manchester City sponsor Etihad Airways has announced it is considering legal action against the Premier League following Manchester City being found guilty of breaching the league's financial rules. Etihad, owned by an Abu Dhabi fund chaired by City owner Sheikh Mansour's brother, rejected any implication that it was involved in improper commercial arrangements, citing damaging implications from the Premier League's public communications. City CEO Ferran Soriano described the findings as a 'Premier League conspiracy theory,' and the club intends to appeal the verdict.
