Man City Say PL Case Still Under Review as Commission Plans Staged Rulings

The club’s annual report says the independent commission has not issued a decision.

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.
