Senior Premier League officials are reportedly anticipating a verdict on Manchester City's 115 charges to emerge at some stage this month. The club has consistently denied all allegations throughout proceedings.

In July 2025, Masters informed NBC: "You can ask but our rules are very clear, it's a confidential process so I can't give any information on timing or anything like that," before stating, "I can't add anything on that."

He added: "I can't speculate about why or when, that's all I can say really. Daniel is not in the same position as me and I can't talk about it." When the charges were made public in 2023, City robustly defended themselves.
