"When a great institution like the Premier League, when you have to have rules for financial fair play, you need to have a lot of legal certainty in the competition and among clubs. Citizens have to think that the system is fair to all, that it's not arbitrary, that it's objective. When you have this type of situation, you're generating uncertainty and that's damaging for an institution's image."
"The handling of the 115 charges Manchester City are facing for alleged Premier League financial rule breaches has been 'damaging' for the competition. The club were initially charged in February 2023, and more than three years later there has been no publicly announced outcome. A hearing into the charges took place in front of an independent commission between September and December 2024."
Manchester City faces 115 Premier League financial rule breach charges filed in February 2023, with a hearing conducted between September and December 2024. No verdict has been publicly announced, though a decision was expected in early 2025. La Liga president Javier Tebas criticized the prolonged handling, stating the delay generates uncertainty and damages the Premier League's institutional image. He emphasized that financial fair play rules require legal certainty and objective application to maintain competition fairness. Premier League chief executive Richard Masters declined to comment on timing, noting regulators should prioritize efficient judicial processes.
