Man City CEO says sorting probe will take much more time

Manchester City's CEO, Ferran Soriano, informed European football officials that resolving the investigation into the club's financial dealings will require significant additional time, according to a meeting at the European Club Association in Copenhagen. Soriano stated that the case "has taken eight years to get here" and "will take a lot more time."

Bloomberg reported last week that Manchester City had been found to have committed more than 100 breaches of Premier League rules, dating back to 2009. The investigation began late last decade, and punishments could range from a points deduction in the standings to expulsion from the Premier League. Manchester City has indicated it will appeal the panel's decisions, and the club's statement said the "Premier League process remains ongoing, with significant elements to be completed, and subject to strict confidentiality."
