Overview
- The filing confirms no public verdict on the 115 alleged rule breaches, tempering talk that a decision was imminent.
- The case stems from a probe that began in 2018, led to formal charges in February 2023, and concluded its hearing 13 months ago.
- Reporting indicates the commission will issue a liability judgment first, with a separate sanctions hearing if any charges are upheld.
- Any appeals by Manchester City or the Premier League would likely push a final resolution beyond the current season.
- City maintains it has a comprehensive body of irrefutable evidence and denies wrongdoing, while potential penalties reported range from fines or points deductions to, theoretically, expulsion.
