Overview
- Reports link the hold‑up in the 115‑charge case to an active internal review of whether Alison Brittain should receive another three‑year term as chair.
- Senior league figures are canvassing club executives, with some saying it would be “absurd” to decide on her reappointment before the case concludes.
- Some clubs are said to be weighing opposition to extending Brittain’s term if the Premier League does not prevail in the case against Manchester City.
- Premier League CEO Richard Masters has reiterated that an independently selected panel runs the hearings, sets the timetable, and decides the outcome.
- Manchester City and their Abu Dhabi United Group owners deny wrongdoing, and reports note that an appeal could follow once a verdict is delivered.
