ERLING HAALAND reckons Manchester City will avoid any punishment for their alleged breaches of Financial Fair Play rules.
The Etihad club were initially slapped with a whopping 115 charges over alleged breaches of FFP rules in February 2024, but they were bumped up to 130 following an administrative issue.

City have vehemently denied any wrongdoing during the 14-YEAR period in question, with manager Pep Guardiola confident the club are innocent.
Haaland’s inking of a whopping new nine-and-a-half-year contract in January suggested that he, like Guardiola, is confident the club have done no wrong.
And the 25-year-old has now revealed that he BELIEVES the City brass have played within the rules.
The Norwegian told TIME magazine: “I spoke with the bosses, and in the end, I believe them.
“It’s such a tricky situation for me to even sit there and speak about, because I wasn’t really involved in it.
“So I think the club knows what they’re doing. They will sort it out.”
The hearing into City’s alleged financial wrongdoing concluded last December.
But it could take several more months for the initial verdict, which City could very well appeal if it doesn’t go their way, to come in.

Despite the very real possibility of relegation hanging over their heads, City didn’t hesitate to reward Haaland with a lucrative new deal.
And the striker is happy to have been compensated for his exploits.
The former Borussia Dortmund and RB Salzburg hitman said: “This feels really normal for me to do.
“They have so much trust in me. Got the good feeling inside my body.”
