  • LaLiga president Javier Tebas has criticised the Premier League's “damaging” and protracted handling of financial charges against Manchester City, which have been ongoing for over three years.
  • Manchester City were accused in February 2023 of more than 100 alleged breaches of financial rules, which the club strenuously denies.
  • Tebas argued that the delay creates uncertainty and a perception of impunity for City, weakening the institution compared to other clubs facing swift sanctions.
  • Despite an independent commission hearing the case between September and December 2024, no public outcome has yet been announced.
  • Premier League chief executive Richard Masters declined to comment on the specifics or timing of the case, stating only that any regulator desires an efficient judicial system.
