We'll talk once there's a ruling – Khaldoon Al Mubarak on Man City charges
City were referred to an independent commission in February 2023 over alleged breaches of league financial rules, which City strenuously deny. The commission heard the case between September and December last year but no outcome has yet been announced. Khaldoon was asked about the charges during an in-house interview earlier this week, and said: 'Well, I suppose the only thing I can say is we still don't have a ruling. Club statement — Manchester City (@ManCity) February 6, 2023 'Once there's a ruling, I'll be able to speak about it. Until then we just have to be patient, and it'll come, and we will talk about it, I promise you, once we have the ruling.' The investigation which ultimately resulted in more than 100 charges being laid started back in 2018. City were charged with failing to report accurate financial information for nine seasons stretching from 2009-10 to 2017-18, as well as failing to provide full details of former manager Roberto Mancini's pay between 2009-10 and 2012-13. They are also charged with failing to provide full details of remuneration in contracts with players between 2010-11 and 2015-16, and with failing to co-operate with the investigation over a period from 2018 to 2023. The club said at the time the charges were laid that they welcomed the opportunity for a commission 'to impartially consider the comprehensive body of irrefutable evidence that exists in support of our position'. City won the Champions League at the end of the season the charges were laid in, securing themselves a place in FIFA's expanded 32-team Club World Cup which starts next month. World players' union FIFPRO has criticised the scheduling of the competition amid player welfare concerns and, along with Europe's domestic leagues organisation, has filed legal complaints against FIFA over a lack of consultation around the international match calendar. Despite that, Khaldoon insists the club are taking the competition seriously and treating it as the official start of next season rather than an extension of the current one. 'This is a very, very serious competition. In the summer, the whole world will be watching this,' he said. 'A big number of the top teams in the world will be competing in this tournament and I can assure you, we're going to give it our bestshot. We're going there to win it. 'This is the beginning of the new season, not the continuation of last season. The team will take the rest that they will take right now, then they start pre-season and then immediately straight into the Club World Cup.'

Man City chief sends message to fans waiting for verdict on 130 charges hearing
Manchester City and the Premier League are still waiting for the independent commission's verdict on the 130 charges the club face over the alleged breaking of financial fair play rules Manchester City chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak has urged fans to remain patient with the club still waiting on the verdict of the 130 charges they face. The Premier League charged City back in February 2023. The club were accused of breaking financial fair play rules over a nine-year period, which started in 2009 and went on until 2018. They have also been charged with failing to co-operate with Premier League investigations into their finances. The Premier League allege City failed to provide accurate financial information. It is also alleged that City they didn't fully disclose the financial remunerations that were made to one of their managers over a four-year period. City are also accused of failing to comply with UEFA's FFP rules over a five-year period. For their part, the club deny all the charges and a 10-week trial was heard by an independent panel earlier this year. A verdict was originally expected in Spring 2025, but there is still no sign of it being published. Al Mubarak has now reiterated that supporters need to stay patient while the wait continues. He told City's club website: 'Well, I suppose the only thing I can say is we still don't have a ruling. Once there's a ruling, I'll be able to speak about it. Until then we just have to be patient, and it'll come, and we will talk about it, I promise you, once we have the ruling.' With the charges hanging over the club, they endured a difficult season, finishing third in the Premier League. It is just the second time in Pep Guardiola's career that his team has finished outside the top two of their division. City also failed to win a major trophy, though their third-place finish did ensure qualification for the Champions League. Al Mubarak has insisted City have learned their lessons and expects the club to be active players in the summer transfer market. 'I can tell you today, we have clearly identified who exactly are the targets, in what positions, and we have our clear number one option, our clear number two option,' he added. 'And we'll go about our business, and it will be very clear, very swift. Our objective is to try to be ready with the new squad for the Club World Cup. We will be back. This season is a season that's now behind us. Today is a new day. "We start working and preparing for next season. And by the way, we've been doing that since January. And we will take all the good things and the not so good things from this season and learn from it and improve from it and get better. 'And I can assure you, this Club will do everything possible to come back to the standards that we know we all can achieve and that we know, we will achieve. Because really, if there's one thing I'd like right now, it's to turn that page from last season and just immediately start focusing on next season.'
