FA release statement over Manchester City case with warning over 'integrity of the game'

FA release statement over Manchester City FFP case with warning over 'integrity of the game'

FA warn of 'implications on game's integrity' following Man City 115 verdict

Since news of City's guilty verdict broke, English football's governing body has remained silent, waiting for the dust to settle after the seismic annoucement.

But now, the FA has finally spoken out, confirming that it will take its time to consider the 'implications' of the verdict ahead of taking action should it be deemed necessary.

In a short statement, the FA wrote: "The Independent Commission’s decision has significant implications for the integrity of the game. We are carefully considering the decision and its implications and will take action where appropriate.

"As proceedings between the Premier League and Manchester City Football Club remain ongoing, we do not intend to comment further at this stage. We will, however, continue to monitor developments closely."

Following the verdict City, who continue to deny guilt, have until Friday to lodge an appeal.

It is currently unknown how long this appeal process will take, or if City will be punished before it ends.
