Manchester City are still awaiting a verdict following the Premier League’s investigation into more than 100 alleged breaches of the competition’s financial regulationsNew Manchester City boss Enzo Maresca is not concerned about the ongoing wait for a verdict on the club’s alleged financial fair play breaches. City are still awaiting a verdict following the Premier League’s investigation into more than 100 alleged breaches of the competition’s financial regulations.The club denies any wrongdoing, and when asked directly if the charges were a concern for him, Maresca replied: “No, no, to be honest.” Before he added: “The only thing I can say is that three years ago, the treble season, I was here.

I don’t have anything to say because it’s something that is there.“But again, the only thing I can say is that the way the organisation is working is to show how serious they are, how good they are, bringing titles and more things.”Speaking back in June, City chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak revealed he plans to 'say everything' about the club’s battle with Premier League chiefs once a verdict on their financial charges has been delivered.City were charged with 115 alleged breaches of the Premier League’s financial rules in 2023 and the alleged offences covered a nine-year period from 2009 until 2018.The Etihad club were also charged with failing to cooperate with the Premier League’s investigation into their finances. The case is yet to reach a conclusion, despite an independent commission hearing a year and a half ago.And Khaldoon said: “Let me be as consistent as I’ve always been – until we have a ruling, I can’t say much.“Once we have a ruling, believe me, we’re going to have a wonderful sit down together and I’ll say everything I’ve wanted to say for the last three years.”The Times reported last month that Liverpool could demand over £100m from City in compensation if they are found guilty of serious charges among the 115 alleged breaches of financial rules.The Reds, who served legal notices on City in 2024 along with Arsenal, Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur, are reserving the right to seek compensation in the wake of a guilty verdict against City, who deny all the charges, according to the report.The report adds that the four clubs have each calculated potential losses of 'significantly' more than £100m as compensation for missing out on Champions League qualification and potential other prize money, with interest also coming into account.The report emerged after an independent Premier League commission concluded that Everton gained a sporting advantage following breaches of Profit and Sustainability Rules, which they say helped the Blues stay up while Burnley was relegated in May 2022.Everton were ordered to pay Burnley £35m, plus interest, but they have appealed the decision.FOLLOW OUR LIVERPOOL FC FACEBOOK PAGE!
