UEFA president Aleksander Ceferin stands firm on the legitimacy of UEFA’s inquiry and sanctions against Manchester City for Financial Fair Play (FFP) violations in 2018.
Ceferin asserts confidence in the verdict delivered by the independent body, despite City’s successful appeal at the Court of Arbitration for Sport.
While Manchester City confronts pending allegations in 2023, recent sanctions imposed by the Premier League on other clubs for breaches of Profitability and Sustainability rules prompt speculation about potential repercussions for City.
Ceferin, displaying deference for the legal process, refrains from criticizing the ongoing situation in England.
Meanwhile, City’s rivals, including Liverpool, eagerly await the trial’s outcome, with a set trial date intensifying the anticipation.
Premier League chief executive Richard Masters acknowledges the frustration among fans but draws attention to the distinctive nature of City’s charges, emphasizing a different context for the proceedings.
