MANCHESTER City chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak has urged those associated with the club to remain “patient” as they await the verdict on a series of charges brought by the Premier League.

The club found itself before an independent commission in February 2023, facing allegations of financial rule breaches, which they vehemently contest.

Despite the commission deliberating from September to December of the previous year, no decision has yet been disclosed.

Khaldoon was asked about the charges during an in-house interview earlier this week, and said: “Well, I suppose the only thing I can say is we still don't have a ruling. Once there's a ruling, I'll be able to speak about it.”
