While Manchester City finds itself at the heart of a historic financial scandal in the Premier League, reactions continue to multiply in England. Questioned on the subject, Régis Le Bris took a position in favor of strict application of the regulations. The French technician from Sunderland believes that the governing bodies must show firmness in order to preserve the fairness of the championship, while the consequences of the verdict targeting the Citizens could be considerable.
“The competent authorities must be inflexible. Otherwise, the competition loses all its value. My position is simple, football has rules, on and off the pitch. These rules must be respected. Any infraction must result in consequences. Otherwise, it is not fair, and we want a fair competition, where fair play reigns. We weren’t there with Sunderland, but it’s about respecting the rules. It’s fundamental, because without them, there is no competition”declared Régis Le Bris.
