The handling of the 115 charges Manchester City are facing for alleged Premier League financial rule breaches has been "damaging" for the competition, says La Liga president Javier Tebas. A hearing into the charges - which City strongly deny - took place in front of an independent commission between September and December 2024. "When a great institution like the Premier League, when you have to have rules for financial fair play, you need to have a lot of legal certainty in the competition and among clubs. When you have this type of situation, you're generating uncertainty and that's damaging for an institution's image." Speaking about the case at the same event, Premier League chief executive Richard Masters said he "can't talk about the timing of it".
