Burnham Says Man City Charges Were Not Raised in Owners Meeting

Manchester mayor Andy Burnham has said the Premier League’s charges against Manchester City were not discussed during a meeting with the club’s owners and directors.

Burnham confirmed that the long-running case was not raised in his talks with senior figures at City, despite the scale of the proceedings and their potential significance for the Premier League champions.

Manchester City were charged by the Premier League in February 2023 with numerous alleged breaches of financial regulations. The allegations relate to a period beginning in 2009 and also include claims that the club did not cooperate fully with the league’s investigation.

The club have consistently denied wrongdoing and said they welcomed the chance for the matter to be considered by an independent commission.

No outcome has yet been announced from the case. Any potential sanction would be determined by the independent commission if the charges were proven.
