Latest Manchester City news with the club seeing their hearing against the Premier League begin to determine whether they are guilty of breaching FFP
A huge week, both on and off the pitch, has begun for Manchester City and Pep Guardiola. Alongside their opening Champions League fixture of the 2024/25 season followed by a clash against Arsenal this weekend, the reigning champions face a battle to prove their innocence against the Premier League for the financial charges levelled against them.
City are alleged to have breached financial rules spread across a nine-year period between 2009 and 2018. Ever since the charges were levelled against them back in February 2023, City have continually persisted they are innocent of any wrongdoing and they will now have the chance to prove it.READ MORE: Man City reactions to Premier League 115 charges need hearing in 'ominous' madness
As such, if the hearing goes a certain way, City could be looking at expulsion from the Premier League alongside a transfer embargo and the stripping of titles. With so many charges lobbied against, the case could take up to 10 weeks with a final verdict, if there is one, unlikely to arrive until 2025.
It is worth noting these are not new charges with The Times claiming the discrepancy has come about through an error with the Premier League's reporting process at the time. The confusion is said to have stemmed from some of the rules listed in relation to particular seasons and thus the official figure has been corrected by the Premier League.
