2024-11-27 18:05:05Manchester City are bracing themselves for more months of uncertainty as the verdict on 115 alleged breaches of Premier League rules is delayed until next summer. The hearing is expected to finish in mid-December, but the written reasons will need to be examined and communicated before a decision is made.
This lengthy delay could have significant implications for the Premier League, with the potential for sanctions being imposed on Manchester City. If proven, the most serious punishments could involve points deductions and even expulsion from the league.
The investigation has been ongoing for nearly five years and is expected to result in a huge bill of legal costs for both the club and the Premier League. Manchester City strongly deny the allegations and are being represented by Lord Pannick, while the Premier League is being represented by Adam Lewis KC.
The delay will undoubtedly create uncertainty for Manchester City and the Premier League, but it remains to be seen how this will impact the club's season and the league as a whole.
