UEFA to wait for Premier League disciplinary end before acting on Man City case
Sky Sports reports the UEFA will hold off on possible action until the end of Manchester City’s Premier League disciplinary process.
UEFA is keeping a close watch on the Manchester City situation and will wait until the end of the Premier League’s disciplinary process before deciding whether to take any potential action, according to Sky Sports.
The club has been found guilty by an independent commission of breaking Premier League financial rules between 2009 and 2018, including five charges related to failing to comply with UEFA Financial Fair Play requirements. The report also says the City owners put in £830m of their own money and disguised it as sponsorship income across nine seasons.
The deadline comes from the Premier
City are appealing and continue to deny any wrongdoing, arguing they have a “comprehensive body of irrefutable evidence” that will clear their name.
The case is not new for the club: in 2014 City struck a settlement with UEFA involving a £49m fine (with £32m suspended). In 2020, UEFA found City guilty again over Financial Fair Play, fined €30m (reported as £25.4m) and banned them from European competition.
