'Business as usual' for Man City Women despite Premier League guilty verdicts
Manchester City Women have stated that day-to-day business continues normally despite the Premier League delivering guilty verdicts against the club in its disciplinary case covering more than 100 alleged rule breaches spanning nine seasons. The women's side, who compete in the Women's Super League, emphasised that preparations, recruitment and competitive activity are unaffected as the club prepares its response and considers an appeal. The verdict covers breaches of the Premier League's profitability and sustainability rules (PSR) and requirements around associated party transactions (APT), though the women's team is not directly implicated in the charges.
