Keith Wyness reacts to mega-money twist in Man City 115 charges fight
Everton’s former chief Keith Wyness has claimed Man City doing mega-money January business is not an indication they will be found innocent in their 115 charges case.
Speaking on the new edition of Football Insider’s Inside Track podcast, the 67-year-old – who served as CEO at Goodison Park between 2004 and 2009 and now runs a football consultancy advising elite clubs – insisted the Premier League champions are doing “business as usual” as the Premier League row still has a “long way to go” due to potential appeals.
Man City have already wrapped up deals for centre-back duo Victor Reis and Abdukodir Khusanov, while Omar Marmoush is undergoing a medical at the club ahead of a move from Eintracht Frankfurt.
Pep Guardiola’s side are awaiting the verdict of their 115 charges case, where they are alleged to have breached Financial Fair Play (FFP) rules over a nine-year period between 2009 and 2018 – among other potential offences.
Wyness has previously told Football Insider (24 November) that the appeal process, should the Premier League or Man City emerge with a significant loss, could drag into 2026.

Responding to news of City’s transfer business so far this month, he told Football Insider‘s Insider Track podcast: “I think it’s business as usual.
“They’ve got to carry on because we don’t know the outcome.
“They have said continually that there’s no case to answer and that they will win.
“Of course, they’re going to carry on strengthening and get everything right on the pitch.
“City are just doing business as usual, because I think there will be a long way to go. It could go to appeals, etc.
“If this case fights its way to a standstill, then City have got to take care of things on the pitch.”
