This article provides a comprehensive guide to the ongoing legal battle between Manchester City and the Premier League, explaining the charges, the hearing process, potential outcomes, and what this means for both clubs.
FFP , 115 charges, independent commission - all phrases you may have heard in relation to Manchester City ’s legal battle with the Premier League , which started on Monday.
The case is unprecedented in scale and the outcome of the hearing, be it innocent or guilty, will have huge ramifications. Allegations about financial wrongdoing were first published by German newspaper Der Spiegel in 2018, the outlet claiming that illicit payments had taken place at the club. Both the Premier League and Man City have the right to appeal any outcome, which would delay the ultimate conclusion of the case. Unlike a courtroom where journalists are allowed in to report, this is a private hearing so updates are expected to be limited and sporadic.
City say they welcome the independent commission, given their “comprehensive body of irrefutable evidence” of their claimed innocence. "As such we look forward to this matter being put to rest once and for all," the statement concluded. "What we do is we publish charges when they are made and we publish decisions when they are made. The bit in between is managed by an independent panel and they're very clear that they want that process to be confidential."
