Man City Women's boss says club remains focused amid Premier League sanctions case
Manchester City Women's manager Andree Jeglertz said the team was operating normally after the club was found guilty of breaking Premier League financial rules. He would not say whether the women's side had been assured it would avoid any fallout. Defender Jade Rose said the players were concentrating on their football.
Manchester City were found guilty on every count tied to Premier League financial rules from 2009-10 through 2017-18. The league alleged the club used sham commercial arrangements to hide over £830m in secret financing. City maintain their innocence and have until 2 October to appeal.
BBC Sport understands no active WSL Football investigation involves the women's team. The charges concern different regulations and date from when the women's league was governed by the FA. Manager Andree Jeglertz said the team was operating normally, while defender Jade Rose said the players' attention remained on playing.
The verdict could affect Manchester City's supporters, players and staff by intensifying scrutiny and uncertainty, even if the women's team continues as normal. It may influence how fans and partners view financial governance in English football, and could shape debate about fairness and regulation. For the women's side, any spillover might affect morale, recruitment or sponsorship, though no direct WSL action is currently known.
