Arsenal Demands Speedy Verdict On Man City Financial Breach Case

Arsenal chief executive Richard Garlick says everybody in the Premier League wants clarity and a quick resolution to the disciplinary case involving Manchester City and more than 100 alleged financial rule breaches.

The independent commission handling the case has yet to release its ruling more than 18 months after the hearing ended and about three-and-a-half years after City were first charged.

Garlick says the lengthy process has frustrated both the league and clubs but insists Arsenal cannot control or speculate on the outcome.

He says he hopes the matter will be resolved very quickly as the new Premier League season approaches.

Manchester City have consistently denied any wrongdoing while Premier League chief executive Richard Masters has also admitted that the case is taking longer than expected.
