Manchester City's hearing for their 115 financial charges will take place in the "near future," according to Premier League chief Richard Masters.
"Manchester City FC is surprised by the issuing of these alleged breaches of the Premier League Rules, particularly given the extensive engagement and vast amount of detailed materials that the EPL has been provided with," the club said in a statement when the chargers were announced last year. And speaking at a European Leagues press conference in London on Friday, Masters has indicated that the hearing into City's case will take place in the "near future." No date was given by the Premier League CEO.
Masters explained at a select committee back in January, the key differences with the likes of Nottingham Forest and Everton, who have both had points deductions this seasoon. "They are very different charges. If any club, whether they are the current champions or otherwise, had been found in breach of the spending rules for year '23, they would be in exactly the same position as Everton or Nottingham Forest," he said.
