The leadership of Manchester City will still have to wait before learning its sanction in the case of the 115 alleged breaches of the Premier League’s financial rules.
According to the Financial Times, the club’s appeal, found guilty of 114 charges in September, will be examined in mid-December. A decision is expected in early 2027, prior to any sanctions if the Citizens’ appeal fails.
Accused of artificially inflating its revenues by more than one billion euros over nine years, Manchester City faces serious consequences.
The independent commission has a wide range of sanctions, from fines to point deductions, up to exclusion from the Premier League.
New appeal procedures could, however, prolong the saga well beyond the current season.
