Richard Masters says Manchester City are set to face a hearing for their 115 alleged breaches of Financial Fair Play (FFP) rules in the ‘near future’.

The Premier League CEO confirmed earlier this year that a date had been set for the hearing but did not reveal when it would take place.

With the current Premier League season edging towards a conclusion, there has finally been some movement, more than a year after they were charged.

‘We can’t comment on the case, the date is set,’ Masters said. ‘The case will resolve itself at some point in the near future. I can’t make any further comment on it.’
City have always strongly denied any wrongdoing while fans are confused as to why Everton and Nottingham Forest have been punished for lesser offences first.

The Premier League have argued that the City case is different because of the depth, scale and complexity of the 115 charges against them.

Logistically, the City case is a lot more time-consuming and it will take far longer than Everton and Forest to reach a potential punishment verdict.
