English soccer's regulator insists there will be no political pressure in Man City case

MANCHESTER, England (AP) — The chair of English soccer's regulatory body said Tuesday he would resign if there were any political interference over potential sanctions for Manchester City . City has been found guilty of widespread breaches of the Premier League's financial rules which could result in punishments including a massive fine, points deductions or even expulsion from England's top flight. Separately, the Independent Football Regulator has the powers to force club owners to sell and can withhold a license to operate if they are deemed unfit.
