The club issued a statement expressing surprise at the announcement of the alleged rule breaches, which referred to “extensive engagement” with the Premier League on the matter. The club also said they held “irrefutable evidence” in support of their position. Former FA-registered lawyer Dr Gregory Ioannidis, who is now Course Leader of the Master’s Programme LLM International Sports Law in Practice at Sheffield Hallam University, insists Man City will not be able to use the same defences that saw them survive their legal defences against UEFA.: “The rules do not provide for time-bar, nor do they provide for appeal to CAS.”
On the possible timescale to reach a conclusion, Ioannidis continued: “Sometimes, disciplinary sports tribunals apply the relevant rules of evidence in a more relaxed manner, as long as the evidence in question has probity and relevance.
