MLS chief Garber insists NYCFC safe amid Man City FFP probe

Major League Soccer commissioner Don Garber has stated that NYCFC are not in danger at present.

The club is part of the City Football Group, and Manchester City have been accused of breaching Premier League financial regulations more than 100 times.

However, Garber does not believe that NYC FC has done anything to breach MLS or FIFA rules.

Speaking to The Athletic, he stated: “I'm not talking to [the Premier League] about what they're doing with their clubs.

“That's their business and related to whatever they and UEFA and FIFA and others have to manage through.

“I have great faith in NYCFC. (Man City and NYCFC CEO) Ferran (Soriano) is an active member of our board, an active member of our player strategy committee.

“(NYCFC) just made a massive commitment on a soccer stadium in New York City, which we've been working towards for 25 years.

“I look forward to continuing to work with them, and whatever issues they may or may not have between them and others."
