RLB'S CITY VERDICT

Regis Le Bris has urged the authorities to be 'relentless' in pursuing Manchester City, to protect the credibility of the Premier League.

RESPECT THE RULES

"There are still ongoing legal proceedings so it’s not for me to comment on that. My position is simple: football has rules on and off the pitch and you have to respect those rules. When they are broken, you should have consequences otherwise it’s not fair, and we want fair competition, we want fair play."

PROTECT THE LEAGUE'S INTEGRITY

"So the relevant authorities have to be relentless, otherwise you lose the value of your competition. [This is the feeling behind the scenes here.] Even it is hard to understand exactly what the charges are as it happened ten years ago, more or less. We were not here in Sunderland, for example. But it is about respecting rules, so it’s key because if you don’t have fair competition it’s a bit weird. That’s more or less the feeling we have in the building."
