Manchester City’s handling of their legal bills is under scrutiny in light of the 115 FFP charges they are facing, with Premier League CEO Richard Masters facing criticism for lack of transparency. Last year, City were charged with 115 financial breaches spanning nine seasons, but they have yet to have their case heard by an independent commission, unlike Everton and Nottingham Forest who received point deductions for more recent violations.
Premier League CEO Richard Masters has confirmed that a date has been set for City’s hearing, but the actual date has not been disclosed, leading many to believe it will not take place until 2025. The document detailing Nottingham Forest’s four-point deduction suggests that City could potentially face expulsion from the Premier League for their more severe infractions.
Former Everton CEO Keith Wyness, who now advises elite clubs on football consultancy, expressed his concerns about City’s case being delayed and questioned how the club is accounting for their legal expenses. He highlighted the lack of transparency from Richard Masters and called for more clarity on the timeline for the hearings.
Wyness also suggested that City’s legal bills should be more clearly accounted for in their financial reports, especially considering the significant resources they have allocated to defend against the charges. He emphasized the need for a more efficient and organized approach to handling the charges to ensure a fair process.
In the midst of ongoing speculation and uncertainty surrounding City’s FFP charges, it is clear that there are still many unanswered questions and concerns about the transparency and accountability of the process. The football world awaits further developments in this high-profile case.
