Man City charges: Football regulator will quit if independence compromised - BBC Sport

The head of the independent football regulator in England, David Kogan, stated he would resign if subjected to political pressure regarding Manchester City. An independent commission found that City had violated Premier League financial rules from 2009 to 2018 by creating sham contracts to secretly funnel over £830 million, which the club denies. Prime Minister Andy Burnham's comments about being concerned if City’s Abu Dhabi owners decided to sell have raised concerns among some Premier League clubs about political interference in the appeal process.
