Man City have been charged by the Premier League over alleged financial breaches but an outcome awaits.

Premier League chief executive Richard Masters has remained tight-lipped over the 115 charges Manchester City are facing for alleged financial rule breaches.

City were charged by the Premier League in February 2023. It is alleged that the Etihad Stadium outfit broke financial regulations between 2009-2018.

However, three years after they were charged, there is still no public outcome. The Premier League continues to await to see whether City will be found guilty - something that they have vehemently protested.

Liverpool will be watching with a keen interest as they finished second to City in the 2013-14 Premier League season. They have become fierce rivals on the pitch over the past decade.

Speaking at the Financial Times Business of Football Summit in London, Masters said: "I simply can't comment. Having spent three years not commenting, I'm not going to start now.

"Stepping aside from that [specific case], any regulator wants its judicial system to be efficient and work swiftly. That's about as far as I can go."

The potential punishment that City could face, should they be found guilty, will be intriguing. Some rival fans would like to see Pep Guardiola’s side relegated from the Premier League and have titles that they won during the period of being accused stripped.

Football finance expert Kieran Maguire has suggested that City could instead expect a hefty points deduction should they be guilty. “It should be resolved in the next few months,” Maguire, a lecturer at the University of Liverpool, said on The Overlap Fan Debate.

“But we said this before, you know, Pep was saying last February that he was expecting something. There’s an awful lot of evidence to go through and this and the charges are very, very serious. So you’ve got to have enough evidence.

“The numbers involved we are not certain about but they are likely to be quite significant. I think you have to add a zero to what we’ve seen in terms of [Nottingham] Forest and Everton, so somewhere between a 40 and 60-point deduction would be, on merit to be consistent with what we’ve seen with other decisions, would make a lot of logic.

“If they want to go further then we don’t know the severity. In the case of both [Nottingham] Forest and Everton, they were to do with FFP purely. The accusations against Manchester City have already been hinted at, which is why it is taking so long.

“Corporate fraud is a very serious accusation. The board of directors would have to go. How can you be in a meeting room with other members of the Premier League, with the Premier League itself – of whom you are a shareholder – with this accusation being proven?”
