Everton’s former chief Keith Wyness has insisted the Premier League’s judicial chief being an Arsenal fan will have no bearing on Man City and their 115 charges case.
Speaking on the new edition of Football Insider’s Inside Track podcast, the 66-year-old – who served as CEO at Goodison Park between 2004 and 2009 and now runs a football consultancy advising elite clubs – insisted Murray Rosen KC, chair of the Premier League’s judicial panel, is “of impeccable standing and stature
Rosen selected the independent commission which will decide Man City’s fate after their hearing over alleged financial rule breaches, which ended earlier this month.
The life-long Arsenal fan will also be responsible for selecting a panel for any appeals after an initial verdict is announced.

Wyness claimed Rosen is of “upstanding character” and insisted his involvement is not in question.
He told Football Insider‘s Insider Track podcast: “This story has been out for a long time.
