The Football Association (FA) has issued a statement saying the Manchester City case could have major implications for the English champions.
The statement comes after City were found guilty of breaching Premier League financial rules. The club has rejected the findings and appealed the decision, leaving the long-running dispute far from over. With the appeal still pending, the FA’s warning has added another layer of uncertainty to a case that has already attracted huge attention across English football.
The FA took to their social media pages to release the statement “The Independent Commission’s decision has significant implications for the integrity of the game. We are carefully considering the decision and its implications and will take action where appropriate. As proceedings between the Premier League and Manchester City Football Club remain ongoing, we do not intend to comment further at this stage. We will, however, continue to monitor developments closely. ” Read the statement.
