Man City facing second investigation and ‘only fair punishment’ pushed by Gary Neville

Manchester City could face a separate investigation by football's Independent Football Regulator following their guilty verdict on 114 Premier League financial charges. David Kogan, Chair of the Independent Football Regulator, stated the body possesses absolute power to force club owners to sell if they fail ownership and director tests. This potential move aligns with recent calls from pundit Gary Neville demanding the removal of City's ownership.

Manchester City have appealed the independent commission's ruling, which found the club artificially inflated revenues by £900 million between 2009 and 2018. While the Premier League handles sporting penalties such as fines or points deductions, Kogan explained the regulator judges individual executives. Kogan also pledged to resign if any political interference occurs during a prospective inquiry.
