Man City ‘decision’ update on 115 charges as Premier League CEO Richard Masters speaks out

Premier League CEO Richard Masters has given a clear response when asked for an update on Manchester City’s 115 charges case

Richard Masters, CEO of the Premier League, has provided an update on Manchester City’s 115 charges case. An outcome from the 12-week court hearing held in London during the latter stages of 2024 is still yet to be communicated, with Masters unable to shed any light on when an answer may arrive.

Speaking at the Business of Football summit, he said: “We’re still awaiting a decision. As you know, I can’t talk about it; I can’t talk about the timing of it. So, there’s nothing more I can add.” He later added: “I simply can’t [comment on City case]. But any regulator wants its judicial system to be efficient and seen to work swiftly. That’s about as far as I’m prepared to go.”

City are facing a high number alleged financial breaches, with the actual figure believed to be closer to 130, over a nine-year period with initial charges brought on the club back in 2023. City vehemently deny any wrongdoing.

Though many football fans are eagerly awaiting updates, Masters has previously stated he is not in a position to provide details. Back in July 2025, he told NBC “You can ask but our rules are very clear, it’s a confidential process so I can’t give any information on timing or anything like that. I can’t add anything on that.”
