Respected journalist responds to claims Man City's 115 FFP charges 'have been dropped'

Rumours have been circling about the charges City face.

A respected journalist has responded to claims that the financial charges faced by Manchester City have been dropped.

Last year the Premier League charged City with 115 alleged breaches of its financial rules after a four-year investigation.

The Premier League refereed City to a independent commission over alleged rule breaches between 2009 and 2018.

In recent months rumours have circulated that the league is set to drop the charges against the treble winners, as well as reports that officials at Manchester United believe their neighbours will receive no serious sanction.

However, Daily Mail journalist Mike Keegan says that such reports are wide of the mark.

On Friday he wrote on X: "There’s a rumour flying around that Manchester City’s charges have been dropped. Told it’s not true."

City's case has been thrust under the spotlight recently after Everton and Nottingham Forest were handed points deductions for failing to meet the Premier League's Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSR).

Everton secured Premier League survival with three games to spare despite being handed two sanctions, but Forest sit just one point above the relegation zone.

Premier League chief executive Richard Masters recently said that City's case will soon be resolved.

When asked about the fairness of City winning the title with the 115 charges still outstanding at a European Leagues' online conference on Friday, Masters said: "We can't comment on the case, the date is set. The case will resolve itself at some point in the near future. I can't make any further comment on it."

City were charged with breaching rules that require the club to provide

City were charged with breaches of rules that required the club to provide "accurate financial information that gives a true and fair view of the club's financial position."

The Premier League has also accused City of failing to cooperate with its investigation.

City have consistently denied the charges. When they were announced in February 2023, the club released as statement that read: "The club welcomes the review of this matter by an independent commission, to impartially consider the comprehensive body of irrefutable evidence that exists in support of its position.

"As such we look forward to this matter being put to rest once and for all."
