Premier League CEO talks about 115 violations in Manchester City: I cannot provide information such as the time for ruling announcement, sorry

July 31 The Manchester Evening News reported that Premier League CEO Richard Masters publicly apologized for the time of the ruling in Manchester City's financial violation case.

Manchester City is accused of 115 historical violations between 2009 and 2018, most of which involve the compensation payment methods of players and logistics teams. Manchester City denied the allegations and claimed that they had irrefutable evidence to prove their innocence, but the relevant hearings did not start until September 2024 and lasted for more than two months.

Although the hearing has ended for nearly eight months, the Independent Commission's ruling remains pending. During the Premier League summer series held in the United States, Masters was asked about the progress of the case in an interview with NBC Sports, but he refused to disclose details: "According to the principle of confidentiality, I cannot provide any timetables and other information. I apologize for this."

This years of investigation is frustrating all followers. Manchester City still needs to wait for the final ruling, and even if he is acquitted, the long process may not end. The latest news said that the ruling may be postponed until the October international match day.
