Premier League chief calls for patience as Man City legal case drags on
LONDON (AP) — The Premier League's top official called for patience Wednesday while the seismic legal case involving Manchester City drags on into another season. City was charged by the league in February 2023 with more than 100 financial breaches, including providing misleading information about its sources of income. The case was heard by an independent commission between September and December last year but no verdict has been reached. Punishment could be as extreme as expulsion from the top flight. City has always denied the charges. The issue hangs over the start of another Premier League campaign, with the 2025-26 season starting Friday. But Richard Masters, the competition's chief executive, reiterated the league has no control or say over the timings. Asked in an interview with British broadcaster Sky Sports News why the league could not hurry the process along, Masters said: 'I can't answer that specific question. All I can tell you about is the system and how it works. 'I mean, it's an independent judiciary, essentially. So once the allegations, the charge, has been put forward, they go before an independent panel, which is independently selected, and they are then in charge of the process and its timings. They hear the case, they decide the outcome, and we have no influence over that, over it or its timing. That's right from an independence point of view." Masters said 'my frustration is irrelevant.' 'I just have to wait,' he said, "and legal processes rarely take less time than you anticipated, but we have to be patient.' Taking the Premier League abroad The Spanish league has recently approved a request for a match, between Villarreal and Barcelona, to be played in the United States in December and Masters was asked whether the Premier League had any similar desire to take a game abroad. Masters said the need has lessened. 'We did look at the '39th game' way back when, with lots of controversy. I recall that very clearly," Masters said of a controversial proposal made back in 2008 of having an extra round of matches played overseas. 'Our objective at the time, when thinking about it, was to help grow the Premier League around the world. 'And we've been able to do that through different means, through brilliant broadcast partnerships, through digital technology, investing in other areas, like the Summer Series tournament we've just had in the U.S., and now the Premier League is a genuinely global league. There are billions of people who will be tuning in over the course of the next next nine months to watch Premier League action. So we've achieved that objective by different means, that necessity has dissipated.' ___ AP soccer:

New role for Greg Abbott after Carlisle United departure
Greg Abbott has landed a new role in football after his departure from Carlisle United. The former Blues manager and head of recruitment has joined League Two club Harrogate Town. Abbott has joined the Yorkshire club's emerging talent and centre of excellence coaching team. The Sulphurites say Abbott will work closely with director of youth football Josh Falkingham, head of emerging talent centre Ryan Smith and the rest of their newly-formed coaching team. They will be charged with "driving the club's new player pathway strategy and develop players for the future." The move sees Abbott reunited with his former captain at Carlisle, Paul Thirlwell, who is Harrogate's assistant manager. It also sees the 61-year-old quickly back in the game after leaving his role as United's head of recruitment in May. Abbott is reunited with his former Carlisle captain Paul Thirlwell, right (Image: Stuart Walker) He had been with the Blues in that position for three years, Abbott having previously been the Cumbrians' manager from 2008 to 2013. Abbott said the Harrogate opportunity came after a conversation with Thirlwell - adding that it was a refreshing new challenge after a "tough" latter period at Brunton Park. Speaking to Harrogate's official channels, he said: "I know Paul really well from my time at senior level. "He was laughing about me coaching under-13s, under-14s, saying 'you won't want to do that - you won't want to go back'," Abbott said. "[But] it really appeals to me. "The last couple of years have been tough. [Now it's] something a bit less stressful, a bit more enjoyable, and I enjoy seeing young players improve and develop. "I'm looking forward to it." Abbott, describing his return to Carlisle in his latter role, added: "It wasn't a great spell, it was hard work, but it is what it is - you have your ups and downs at football clubs. "I'm now at an age when I just want a little bit less pain and stress, enjoy my weekends a bit more." The former United boss also said his new role fits well with his family life as a grandfather.

BMW Championship: Scottie Scheffler using new caddie again, unsure if Ted Scott will return for Tour Championship
Scottie Scheffler will have an unfamiliar face on the bag once again this week. The top-ranked golfer in the world confirmed that his longtime caddie Ted Scott will not be with him at the BMW Championship this week for the second leg of the PGA Tour's FedExCup Playoffs. Instead, it will be Michael Cromie alongside Scheffler at Caves Valley Golf Club in Maryland. Cromie typically works with Chris Kirk, though Kirk just narrowly missed the cut to qualify for the BMW Championship. [Join or create a Yahoo Fantasy Football league for the 2025 NFL season] 'Ted's good buddies with him. I always liked him,' Scheffler said of Cromie on Wednesday. 'He's a young guy, works hard. Chris was very nice to let Cromie come work with me this week. He had a good finish to the season. He was a little bit on the outside looking in, but played really good and was close at the end. It was really nice of him to lend his caddie for the week. That was very kind of him.' Scott left before the start of the final round at last week's FedEx St. Jude Championship in Memphis, and Scheffler ended up turning to Tour chaplain and close friend Brad Payne to fill in on Sunday. Scheffler ended up finishing in a tie for third, one shot back from winner Justin Rose. Scott returned home to Louisiana for an undisclosed family emergency on Saturday. Though Scheffler said he's talked to Scott in recent days, he doesn't know if Scott will be able to return for the Tour Championship next week in Atlanta. And, based on how he reacted when asked that question on Wednesday, he doesn't care. 'I think Ted's where he needs to be right now, and I think caddying is probably the last thing on his mind, as it should be,' Scheffler said. 'I've been able to talk to him a few times. The family is in good spirits. Everybody seems to be doing well.' Scheffler has won four times on Tour this season, including at both the PGA Championship and the British Open. He holds a massive lead in the FedExCup standings and is a lock to qualify for the Tour Championship next week. The top 30 in the standings after Sunday will advance to Atlanta, though that event will use a traditional start rather than the starting strokes format it's used in recent years. Scheffler will start at even par with the rest of the field instead of the 10-under advantage he would have received under the old format. Scheffler will tee off alongside Rory McIlroy, who is in second in the FedExCup standings, on Thursday morning to open the BMW Championship. Though adjusting to a new caddie certainly isn't optimal during a critical time of the season, Scheffler said he and Cromie are off to a solid, rather basic, start. "He'll ask some questions about things, basically he's just going to try to fill in as best he can this week," Scheffler said. "Just asking little stuff. A lot of it is just more routine, like, 'Hey, how do you want me to give you the numbers? ... What's your hydration? When do you like to eat?' Just stuff like that. "I think there's a lot of little stuff that caddies do that go kind of unnoticed throughout a round, and Michael is doing his best to try and figure those things out."
