Manchester City chief executive Ferran Soriano warned that the club’s ongoing dispute with the Premier League could take years to resolve, telling a gathering of fellow club chiefs this week, Sky News reports.
Soriano made the comment during a meeting of Premier League club leaders, although the specific issues at the heart of the disagreement were not disclosed in the source material.
Manchester City, one of the most successful teams in the Premier League – the top tier of English football – has previously been involved in high‑profile regulatory and financial matters, underscoring the significance of any protracted conflict with the league’s governing body.
While the nature of the current fight was not detailed, disputes between clubs and the Premier League typically involve questions of governance, financial regulations or competition rules, and can lead to lengthy legal or administrative proceedings.
Soriano’s remarks suggest that any resolution may be a drawn‑out process, with potential implications for both Manchester City and the broader structure of English football.
