The charges, which date back to 2009, allege that City breached the league's financial rules, a matter that has sounded the alarm bells across English football.

Masters addressed the issue of secrecy surrounding the case's timeline, explaining that the Premier League's rules necessitate confidentiality throughout the process.
"Quite simply, it’s not within our rules to be able to do so," he stated. "What we do is we publish charges when they are made and we publish decisions when they are made. The bit in between is managed by an independent panel and they’re very clear that they want that process to be confidential."
