Manchester City Women's manager Andree Jeglertz has insisted that it is "business as usual" for his side despite the club being found guilty of multiple financial breaches by the Premier League. Speaking ahead of their Women's Champions League fixture against Real Madrid, Jeglertz maintained that the team remains focused on their sporting objectives.

Jeglertz declined to comment further on whether he had received specific assurances regarding the potential impact of these charges on the women's team. Defender Jade Rose echoed this focus, stating that the players are receiving the same messaging as the public and are choosing to focus exclusively on their footballing duties.

While the long-term implications of the charges—which relate to the 2009-10 to 2017-18 seasons—remain unclear, there is currently no active investigation from the Women's Super League. The charges concern Premier League regulations rather than the current WSL framework.

I am working at the club now so that's who I am hired by and working with, so, for sure. We have been training like normal and doing the work we can do to affect the game. Andree Jeglertz

The team is currently enjoying a strong start to the season, sitting at the top of the WSL table with 12 points from four matches. They are preparing for their second group stage match in Europe after drawing 1-1 with Bayern Munich last week.
