  • David Kogan says the football watchdog holds power to compel a sale of Manchester City.
  • The action depends on whether a guilty verdict over Premier League breaches is maintained.
  • Manchester City have launched an appeal against the charges.

The chair of the Independent Football Regulator, David Kogan, has stated that the body possesses ultimate authority to force the sale of Manchester City if the club's owners are determined to have operated the team improperly.

This potential intervention relies on the final outcome of the legal process, following an independent commission's ruling that Manchester City broke Premier League regulations. The club has officially appealed against the charges.
