Read our privacy policy Jose Mourinho has insisted that he does not want Manchester City to be relegated from the Premier League, though suggested that it is wrong that “big sharks” find ways to “escape” the financial fair play rules. Mourinho traded barbs with long-time touchline rival Pep Guardiola last week over the legitimacy of his titles since arriving at the Etihad Stadium, with the Portuguese manager pointing to the 129 alleged breaches of Premier League financial control rules. “In relation to Pep, we worked together for three years,” Mourinho explained ahead of Fenerbahce’s Europa League clash with Athletic Bilbao. I don’t think it is fair that the big sharks - the financial sharks - always find a way to escape the rules.” An outcome in the Manchester City hearing is expected in February after closing arguments were made last week.
