Leeds United head coach Daniel Farke believes there is enough people in the world right now discussing the Manchester City situation, it doesn't need his input.
The situation involving the former Premier League champions has dominated the international break, with it being the only topic in town most days.
Farke was asked about the recent development of Manchester City being found guilty of 114 charges relating to failing to report accurate financial information for nine seasons from 2009. The Leeds United boss was keen to keep the focus on his own team as they prepare to face champions Arsenal on Saturday lunchtime, with the Whites back in action following a three-week international break.
"It's not my topic, my topic is football and there are more qualified people to speak about this, so it is not my topic," said Farke in his pre-match press conference.

As a friend of former Man City boss Pep Guardiola, Farke was always going to be asked about the situation, even if it always remained unlikely he would go in depth on the matter. Pushed further on how the decision could have an impact on the remainder of the season, Farke, who came up against Man City just twice in that period as Norwich manager, added: "I don't know. It is not up to me and I was not involved in the title race in these years. I had different topics to deal with during this time when Manchester City won many titles.
"I think I just had one home game with them with Norwich, we won by the way, so I can't complain too much. It also makes no sense if right now everyone in the world wants to have opinions about this topic, there are more qualified people to talk about it. My topic is Leeds United."
