Manchester City's $595M spending spree 'makes a mockery' of 115 Premier League charges, says ex-boss

Former Manchester City chairman David Bernstein has expressed concern over the club's £440 million ($594.7 million) summer transfer spending spree as the team faces 115 charges of alleged Premier League financial regulations breaches. City was hit with the charges in February 2023, with a 12-week hearing concluding in December 2024, yet there has been no update on the independent commission's verdict since then.

The 83-year-old, who served as FA Chair from 2011 to 2013, has questioned the Premier League's management of the case, stating that the club's massive spending makes a mockery of the regulations in place. City has denied all allegations, causing frustration among stakeholders due to the lengthy delay in reaching a conclusion.
