Font size

The chair of English football’s independent regulator has said he expects Manchester City’s appeal after being found guilty of more than 100 breaches of Premier League financial rules to be heard by January.

City, who have repeatedly maintained they are innocent of the charges, are currently top of the Premier League table with six wins out of six following their 3-0 win over Liverpool last weekend.

No sanction has yet been announced, but City could face a heavy points deduction leading to relegation and there has even been speculation they could be stripped of the three Premier League titles they won between 2009 and 2018.

“The Premier League have said that they want to get this resolved within [this] season, and actually, of course, it’s not the Premier League, it’s an independent commission that’s actually going to hear this, made of three retired either judges or lawyers,” Independent Football Regulator (IFR) chair David Kogan told Times Radio on Wednesday.
