Overview
- Premier League CEO Richard Masters said on Feb. 26 that the league is still awaiting the independent commission’s decision and offered no timing.
- The 12-week hearing ended in December 2024, leaving a 14‑month wait for a published verdict in a case built on an estimated 500,000 documents.
- The charges, covering 2009–2018, include alleged inaccurate financial reporting, undisclosed player and manager payments, UEFA and PSR breaches, and failure to co‑operate.
- Finance analyst Kieran Maguire says a points deduction in the 40–60 range is plausible if multiple serious breaches are proven, noting relegation is not a Premier League sanction to impose.
- Both parties are expected to get roughly 24 hours’ notice before publication with a 14‑day appeal window, and Manchester City continue to deny wrongdoing.
