Man City awaits appeal outcome amid calls for further investigation

Summarised from 2 outlets · 3 reports · Updated 4 Nov, 04:20 · Archive

Manchester City await the outcome of their appeal against 114 Premier League charges, with some clubs pushing for investigation into seasons since 2018.

Manchester City have appealed after being found guilty of 114 of 115 Premier League financial charges brought against them. The appeal outcome is expected to be reached in the new year, with a hearing to be completed within 12 weeks under Premier League rules, followed by up to 30 days for the panel to issue its decision.

If the appeal fails, City face potential sanctions including points deduction, a substantial fine and possible expulsion from the Premier League. Rival clubs are reportedly pushing for the most serious penalties if City are found guilty again.

Meanwhile, an increasing number of Premier League executives are pushing for the league to investigate Manchester City for seasons since 2018 or bring further charges. The original investigation covered 2009 to 2018 and found that City used 'sham' sponsorship deals disguised as owner investment. With these arrangements potentially continuing, some executives question whether the practices stopped in 2018. However, other club chiefs worry that launching a second investigation would create a 'dilemma' for the sport, given the current case has already been running for nearly three years.
