New Man City investigation sought by executives as key ‘dilemma’ emerges
English football executives are reportedly pushing for a new investigation into Manchester City after they were found guilty of all charges relating to serious breaches of the Premier League and UEFA's financial rules.
City have launched an appeal against the verdict, with the new process setting out a 12-week window for that appeal to be heard plus an additional 30 days for the final judgment. The club have repeatedly maintained their innocence and say they have 'irrefutable evidence' to support their case.
The club were found guilty over financial breaches relating to the time period between the 2009/10 and 2017/18 seasons, and could receive fines, transfer bans or severe points deductions if the appeal verdict is upheld by the independent commission. But executives are now wanting the investigation to span an even longer period of time.
According to The Independent, an 'increasing number' of English football executives are understood to want the Premier League to investigate City over the seasons since 2018, or potentially bring further charges against the club.
It is claimed that questions have been raised about the independent commission's final verdict, in that it judged City and its sponsors as 'Related Parties' and whether those relationships changed after 2018.
But there is said to be a 'sense' among those unnamed executives that any commercial deals made after 2018 would be viewed as being subject to the associated party rules and had already been assessed at fair market value. There are question marks also, however, over whether that would indeed be the case.
The prospect of an investigation, though, is described in the report as a 'dilemma' for the Premier League, with some in favour of waiting for the current case involving City to conclude in full before any further investigations are explored.
An appeal verdict is expected to be reached within 12 weeks of the initial appeal, which was submitted on October 4, was launched. Leading sports lawyer James Severn told BBC Sport that the club must 'identify a material error of law, principle or fact, or serious procedural unfairness, which materially affected the Commission's decision' in order to win the appeal.
The Financial Reporting Council (FRC), an independent regulator, plans to examine City's financial audit after Liam Byrne, the Labour MP for Birmingham Hodge Hill and Solihull North, wrote a letter asking why it had failed to discover City's financial breaches prior to the Premier League's investigation.
Byrne, who is the chair of the Government's Business, Innovation, Science and Trade Committee, posted the regulator's response on Twitter, claiming it 'exposes gaps in its ability to compel evidence from the club and pursue directors who fall outside its disciplinary rules'.
"This raises serious questions about the powers available to hold companies and directors to account," the MP added.

From start-up to IPO: Four crucial lessons from Quickmart and Anthropic
“Nowadays people know the price of everything and the value of nothing.” –Oscar Wilde
What can a profitable Kenyan supermarket chain and loss making artificial intelligence [AI] company valued at $2 trillion teach us about business? Do two companies, worlds apart – one with a closed initial public offering [IPO] and the other about to launch – reveal a fundamental truth about how companies create, capture and sustain value. How did a start-up with seven founders, most in their late 30s, and oldest being 43, become so respected?

Kennedy Rapudo marked his wife Amber Ray's birthday on Wednesday, 3 November, with an adoring message that sent fans into a frenzy.
The businessman described Amber as his "favourite human" and "biggest blessing," making clear she holds a singular place in his life.
In the post, he prayed for her new chapter to be filled with answered prayers, good health and happiness that never runs dry, adding that she deserved "the softest life, the loudest celebrations, and every beautiful thing this world has to offer."
Rapudo closed his message with a declaration that felt as much a vow as a birthday wish, writing:

The socialite and mother did not let the moment pass quietly.
Responding in the comments, Amber Ray wrote:
"@kennedyrapudo Thank you my forever Tajiri."
The word "Tajiri," meaning wealthy or boss in Swahili, has become something of an affectionate nickname between the two, and fans clearly loved seeing it used publicly.

Ruto: In the next 18 months, we will have a brand-new airport
President William Ruto has announced that Kenya expects to have a brand-new airport within the next 18 months, saying construction is already underway following the reorganisation of the project after controversy surrounding the proposed involvement of India’s Adani Group.
Speaking during the Kenya Private Sector Alliance (KEPSA) Presidential Roundtable at the Kenyatta International Convention Centre (KICC) in Nairobi on Wednesday, November 4, 2026, Ruto maintained that the airport project was progressing despite criticism and delays that have surrounded the government’s infrastructure ambitions.
“In the next 18 months, we will have a brand-new airport,” the President declared, insisting that the project had moved beyond the planning stage and was now under construction.
Ruto acknowledged that the project had encountered challenges following public controversy over the proposed Adani partnership, but said the government had reorganised its approach and proceeded with construction.
“Remember, there was a small challenge with noise around Adani and others, but we’ve since reorganised, and now the airport is under construction,” he told business leaders.
The President’s remarks signal renewed confidence in the government’s efforts to upgrade Kenya’s aviation infrastructure, particularly at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA), the country’s principal international aviation gateway.
Ruto Responds to Criticism Over Airport Construction Timeline
Ruto also addressed criticism over the timelines he had previously given for the delivery of the airport, arguing that public debate had shifted as the project progressed.
He said critics had initially questioned whether the project was achievable before accusing him of overpromising and later claiming that no construction was taking place.
The President, however, said the criticism had since changed, with attention now shifting to whether the project would be completed within the initially communicated timeline.
“Some people said that it was not possible to be done. Then they changed and said this gentleman overpromised, and then they said nothing was happening. Now the debate has changed, saying, ‘Oh, it’s happening,’ but it was supposed to be last month, but it has delayed by a month or two months,” Ruto said.
He dismissed the criticism as part of the normal public debate surrounding major infrastructure projects, arguing that a delay of one or two months was manageable.
“It’s not that it has not happened. It’s just that it has not happened, or it is one month late. That we can deal with,” he added.
His remarks suggest the government is seeking to maintain confidence in the airport’s delivery schedule even as questions persist over the implementation timeline.
President Says JKIA Needs a Major Upgrade
The President defended the need for a new airport by pointing to the experience of international travellers arriving in Nairobi through Jomo Kenyatta International Airport.
According to Ruto, the condition of the existing facility does not reflect Kenya’s ambitions as a regional business, tourism and aviation hub.
“We will finish the airport because we don’t have an airport. You all agree. Those of you who travel, when you arrive at Jomo Kenyatta, you arrive to a tarmac, and the place isn’t very good,” he said.
He argued that the planned development would transform the country’s main aviation gateway and improve the experience of passengers arriving in Kenya.
“We will change that in the next 18 months. We will have a brand-new airport,” Ruto reiterated.
JKIA is a critical gateway for international travel, cargo transportation and regional connectivity, making its expansion and modernisation an important issue for Kenya’s economic competitiveness.
Airport Project Under Scrutiny
The airport announcement comes against the backdrop of controversy surrounding the proposed airport expansion arrangement involving Adani Group, which generated significant public debate and opposition.
The government subsequently moved to reorganise its approach to the project following the controversy.
Ruto’s latest remarks provide an indication of the administration’s intended delivery timeline, although questions remain over the project’s precise scope, financing arrangements, implementation milestones and the facilities expected to be ready within the 18-month period.
The President did not provide further technical details during the roundtable but insisted that construction was already underway.
If delivered within the stated timeframe, the project would mark a significant development in Kenya’s aviation infrastructure and strengthen Nairobi’s position as a regional transport and business hub.
For now, Ruto has put an 18-month timeline on the table, setting a fresh benchmark against which Kenyans, investors and the aviation industry will measure the government’s performance.
