Executives at Manchester City could become the subject of individual investigations relating to their possible roles in the club's rule breaches.
According to Martin Ziegler, the FA and the new Independent Football Regulator in England intend to conduct a thorough review of the case once all appeal processes have been exhausted.
This relates to a major case involving 115 counts of alleged breaches of Premier League financial regulations. As reported by Reuters on 25 September, Manchester City was found guilty on 114 out of 115 counts and is currently awaiting an appeal.
What happens next
Personal investigations could potentially involve specific directors and executives if it is determined they had a hand in the relevant breaches.
However, the final implications for both the club and individual figures remain uncertain. The appeals process must first conclude, after which the FA and the Independent Football Regulator will be able to evaluate the case materials and findings.
Manchester City continues to stand firm on its position in this matter and is awaiting further developments.
