Manchester City's appeal against being found guilty of over 100 Premier League financial rule breaches will be heard by mid-January or the end of January.
Manchester City have appealed after being found guilty of more than 100 breaches of Premier League financial rules. The club has been accused of using 'sham' contracts to artificially inflate revenues and reduce reported costs by more than 900 million pounds between 2009 and 2018.
According to the Independent Football Regulator chair David Kogan, the appeal will be heard by mid-January or the end of January. Kogan told Times Radio that an independent commission made up of three retired judges or lawyers will hear the case, and that a prescribed 12-week process is in place. Manchester City have repeatedly maintained they are innocent of any wrongdoing and claim to have a 'comprehensive body of irrefutable evidence' supporting their position.
No sanction has been announced yet. City could face a heavy points deduction, potential relegation, or even be stripped of three Premier League titles won between 2009 and 2018. The club are currently top of the Premier League table.
