“It also ensures the broadcast of every Premier League match is kept to schedule.”
City are awaiting a verdict on 115 charges of alleged breaches of the Premier League’s financial rules.
City were charged and referred to an independent commission in February 2023 following a four-year investigation.
It is alleged City breached its financial rules between 2009 and 2018.
