The hearing into Manchester City's alleged breaches of Premier League rules has entered its third week with no verdict expected until spring 2025. The club faces charges of breaking financial fair play regulations over a nine-year period, and the potential punishment could be severe if the Premier League wins the case.
It has been over three weeks since the hearing into Manchester City 's alleged breaches of Premier League rules started.
Updates have been few and far between since the start of the hearing. While the case continues behind-closed- doors our Manchester Evening News chief business of football writer Dave Powell has analysed the potential outcomes which could appear in 2025 and what City's court hearing actually means. "The potential for rewriting record books and having results expunged retrospectively would cast a long shadow over the competition's recent past. Perhaps more worryingly for the Premier League is the potential ramifications that it has for the broadcast deals domestically and internationally, the golden ticket that the growth and financial strength of the league has been built upon.
"Does it bring about the start of a European Super League conversation again? For some time now the biggest clubs have been the ones to be the driving force behind what happens in the global game as they are the ones that drive the revenue for the respective leagues and competitions. Maybe City would find some like-minded clubs to see opportunity in their demise, with Real Madrid and Barcelona still vocal supporters of the ESL.
"Then there are the legal fees that will climb into the tens of millions, potentially more depending on how long the process takes and how many appeals see the can kicked down the road farther and farther. The legal fees for the Premier League come from central funding, which comes largely from broadcast revenue. That would be impactful to all 20 member clubs as it would diminish their central funding.
