Premier League chief insists Man City 115-charge case is ‘not necessarily a topic of conversation with other clubs’ as wait for verdict drags on

The 115-charge case against Manchester City continues without resolution, with Premier League chief executive Richard Masters asserting that the matter is not a frequent topic of conversation among rival clubs.
