Manchester Evening: The outcome of Manchester City s 115 financial charges has been delayed due to changes at the top of the Premier League

November 14 According to the Manchester Evening News, the verdict on 115 financial charges against Manchester City has been postponed due to internal discussions within the Premier League regarding the future tenure of chairman Alison Brittan.

Manchester City was first accused in February 2023, but the club and its owners have always denied wrongdoing. A key factor in the delay was reportedly Brittan's tenure. Premier League chiefs are seeking advice from club executives on whether Brittan should be given a second three-year term.

According to reports, this decision is closely related to the progress of Manchester City's case, because Brittan is believed to have "considerable influence" in the matter. Debate over her support is said to have "intensified". Some senior officials believe it would be "ridiculous" to make a key decision on Brittan's future before the dust has settled on the Manchester City case.

In addition, there are "signs" in the report that some clubs may vote against Brittain if the Premier League fails to win the lawsuit against Manchester City. Club executives also expressed concern about a "perceived lack of transparency" in the process.

Premier League CEO Richard Masters earlier responded to the matter by saying that the case was handled by an "independent judicial body" and that the league could not influence its process or timing and could only "remain patient."
