Judgement Day! Manchester City finally given hearing date for 115 financial charges

Richard Masters, the Premier League chief executive, revealed a timeline for the Manchester City hearing has been agreed – the first significant announcement since the charges were laid by the Premier League in February 2023. 

In a statement, the league noted they had “referred several alleged breaches” committed across nine different seasons dating back to the 2009/2010 campaign to an independent commission.

Masters was asked about the case in an appearance before the Culture, Media and Sport Select Committee. 

“There is a date set for that proceeding; unfortunately, I can’t tell you when that is, but it is progressing. 

“I can’t give any details on Man City beyond saying that a date has been set; I can’t tell you when that date is,” he said.
