David Kogan says he would resign over political interference in Manchester City case
David Kogan, chairman of the Independent Football Regulator, stated he would quit if political pressure influenced the Manchester City investigation.
Commitment to independence
Kogan told BBC Sport that no politician has attempted to influence the regulator's work. He emphasized that independence is central to the organization's name and operations.
Potential consequences for owners
The watchdog holds the power to assess the suitability of club executives and owners. If findings are upheld, the body could force a sale or withhold an operating license.
Current status of appeal
An independent commission found that the club broke financial rules between 2009 and 2018. Kogan is currently awaiting the outcome of Manchester City's appeal against these verdicts.
