The five individuals at the Premier League set to play a key role in the fate of Manchester City.

Meet the people set for key role in deciding Man City fate

The Premier League board, tasked with recommending a punishment for Manchester City's violation of financial rules, consists of five members. The chair is Alison Brittain, the league's first female chair, who joined in 2021 after working in hospitality and financial services. Brittain, a lifelong Manchester United fan, joined the board after former Arsenal CEO Vinai Venkatesham and ex-Aston Villa CEO Christian Purslow convinced her of her suitability.

The other members are Richard Masters, the league's chief executive since 2019; Mai Fyfield, a former Sky executive with experience in TV bidding for Premier League cycles; Dharmash Mistry, a technology venture capitalist with experience working for BBC; and Matthew Ryder, a senior barrister, part-time judge, and former deputy mayor of London.

The board is responsible for prosecuting breaches of Premier League rules and ensuring the competition remains competitive and fair.
