Update on Man City's 115 FFP charges as Sky News reporter reveals what the Premier League 'has indicated'

A Sky News reporter has given an update on the Premier League's investigation into the alleged 115 charges it brought against Manchester City last year.

The charges relate to alleged 'numerous breaches' of financial rules, with the Premier League accusing City of breaching those rules over a period of nine seasons.

The alleged breaches largely relate to a 'failure to provide accurate and up-to-date financial information', and 'failure to co-operate with Premier League investigations'. City have strenuously denied the allegations.

In January, Premier League chief executive Richard Masters confirmed that a date had been set for City's hearing into the charges, although he could not specify a date.

Now, Sky News reporter Rob Harris has given an update on the case - including the Premier League's latest indication in terms of the official hearing.

He explained: "City insist they've got an irrefutable body of evidence to prove their case.

"The Premier League have indicated that the hearing is coming in the next few months, we expect.

"But for many, it's dragged on now for 15 months since the charges were levelled, and still no verdict, while other clubs have been punished."

Meanwhile, Masters appeared in front of a Parliamentary Select Committee on Tuesday, but the topic of City's 115 charges was not discussed.

Instead, he was asked to provide an update on the uncertainty surrounding the ownership of Everton, with US private investment company 777 Partners still attempting to buy the club from current owner Farhad Moshiri.

Everton's Fan Advisory Board has called on the Premier League to halt the takeover, given financial issues at the company's other clubs and their ongoing legal troubles - with the belief that 777 would fail the division's Owners and Directors Test.

A lawsuit filed in New York last week by two asset-management companies accused 777 and co-owner Josh Wander were accused of committing fraud worth 'hundreds of millions of dollars', while the company also faces faces lawsuits over claims of unpaid debts.
