Manchester City chief executive Ferran Soriano has told his fellow European club bosses the already lengthy legal battle with the Premier League will take “a lot more time” to conclude.

News broke on Friday that City had been found guilty of all but one of 115 charges they faced of breaching the league’s financial rules, immediately sparking speculation they could face unprecedented sanctions.
