What happened. Premier League chief executive Richard Masters admitted he cannot provide a timeline for the verdict on Manchester City's 115 charges, which remain unresolved nearly 18 months after the hearing.

• Masters accepts the process is taking longer than expected.
• Independent commission began in September 2024 and ran for three months.
• Ruling was expected before the close of that season but hasn't come.

“I do accept it's taking longer than expected, and I understan”

— Richard Masters

The prolonged wait has frustrated supporters, but Masters remains unable to say when the independent commission will deliver its final judgement.
