The Football Association (FA) says an independent commission’s verdict finding Manchester City guilty of multiple financial regulation breaches has “significant implications for the integrity of the game.” The FA says the decision affects how it views conduct within the sport and indicates it is considering further steps.
The FA also states it has disciplinary powers over both the club and key individuals. It says it will assess what action, if any, to take once the appeal process connected to the verdict is over. While outlets report the FA’s confirmation of its authority and intended review, they do not agree on additional details of the potential charges or outcomes, beyond the FA’s stated commitment to act “where appropriate.”
