Premier League Gives Update on Verdict of Man City's 115 Charges
Manchester City faces over 100 financial rule breach charges with no sanction yet as the Premier League awaits the independent commission's decision, says chief executive Richard Masters.
- The Premier League charged Manchester City in February 2023 with 115 alleged financial rule breaches and referred the case to an independent commission.
- The charges stem from alleged financial fair play violations between 2009 and 2018, after a 12-week hearing from September to December 2022 before an independent panel.
- The head of the Premier League, Richard Masters, explained that the league does not have any control over when or how the case involving Manchester City's alleged financial rule breaches will be resolved, noting that legal proceedings often take longer than anticipated.
- Masters told Sky Sports, "It's an independent judiciary essentially," described his personal frustration as "irrelevant," and urged everyone to remain patient awaiting the decision.
- The ongoing Manchester City case remains a significant issue as the 2025–26 season begins this weekend, with defending champions Liverpool set to welcome Bournemouth.
