Joe Hart Backs Man City Chairman Over 115 Charges as Guilty Verdict Reports Swirl

Summary
Joe Hart said he trusts chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak's insistence that Manchester City will prove their innocence, arguing that "nothing concrete" has yet emerged in the Premier League case.
The former City goalkeeper said speculation should not outweigh Al Mubarak's word, adding he has "no reason not to trust" a chairman he said led the club brilliantly during his 2006-2016 spell.
That defense followed ESPN's report on Friday that City are expected to be found guilty on the vast majority of the 115 alleged financial-rule breaches.
City have not denied a guilty verdict but say the process remains ongoing, while the Premier League has kept the case private and confidential.
