Major update on Man City’s 115 charges hearing as Sky Sports give timeframe for decision
Sky Sports have provided a major update on Manchester City’s upcoming trial over their 115 charges and stated when we can expect to hear a verdict.
Manchester City’s trial for the alleged 115 breaches of financial fair play rules is scheduled to begin on Monday. The club, which denies any wrongdoing, faces accusations of violating these rules over a nine-year span from 2009 to 2018.
Recent updates reveal more details about the trial, including the anticipated timeline for a verdict. The Premier League accuses City of not providing accurate financial information during this period and claims that the club also breached UEFA’s financial fair play rules over five years. Additionally, the Premier League has criticized City for being uncooperative during the investigation.
The potential penalties for City, if found guilty, could include point deductions or even expulsion from the Premier League, though the latter is considered a more severe measure. According to Sky Sports, the earliest a decision might be reached is by spring next year, though the trial could extend up to four months due to detailed legal arguments from both sides. The independent commission will then review all evidence before announcing their decision publicly.
