UEFA president Aleksander Ceferin has reiterated his belief in the initial decision to sanction Manchester City for financial breaches, despite the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) overturning the club’s two-year suspension.
Ceferin expressed confidence in UEFA’s stance, acknowledging the unpredictability of legal decisions. He emphasized the importance of respecting the court’s verdict.
Furthemore, Ceferin mentioned the Premier League’s referral of Manchester City to an independent commission for numerous breaches of financial regulations.
Premier League chief executive Richard Masters confirmed that a date has been set for the commission hearing, although he did not disclose the specific timing.
Masters highlighted the complexity and scale of the City case in comparison to other instances involving clubs like Everton and Nottingham Forest.
