Government makes promise over Man City case as new threat to owners emerges

The UK Government will not intervene in any decisions regarding the Manchester City case following the guilty verdict on financial charges. That has been confirmed by the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport Lisa Nandy, who told talkSPORT that the new Independent Football Regulator (IFR) has power to remove the owners if need be. An independent commission ruled that City are guilty on all charges of financial rule breaches in the Premier League from the 2009/10 season to 2017/18.
