Tebas Says Premier League Weakened by Prolonged Silence on Man City’s 115 Charges

He argues the unresolved case has created uncertainty over how financial rules are enforced.

Overview

  • Speaking at the FT Business of Football Summit, LaLiga president Javier Tebas said other clubs have been fined or docked points while Manchester City face no published ruling, which he called damaging to the league’s image.
  • Manchester City were charged in February 2023 with 115 alleged breaches covering 2009 to 2018, and a 12-week hearing before an independent commission concluded in December 2024 without a public verdict to date.
  • Premier League chief executive Richard Masters declined to discuss timing or specifics, stating he cannot comment after years of not doing so.
  • Manchester City continue to deny wrongdoing and say they possess a comprehensive body of evidence that they believe clears them.
  • Reporters cite experts who expect a decision in the coming months, with a substantial points deduction viewed as the most realistic sporting sanction under league rules, and both the league and club are expected to receive short notice before any ruling is made public.
