Manchester City will likely not receive sanctions when the initial verdict on their alleged breach of 130 (initially 115) of the Premier League's financial rules is returned, according to a new interview with chief executive Richard Masters.
The Premier League serial winners stand accused by the organisation of multiple breaches of their financial regulations, as well as failing to co-operate with a subsequent investigation.
The alleged breaches date back to a nine-year period between 2009 and 2018, and were first revealed by the league in a statement in February 2023.
Should City be found culpable on some of the more serious charges, they could be hit with huge financial penalties, points deductions or even relegation.
