‘Major’ PL coup as ‘legal experts’ reveal possible sanction date while hearing ‘paused’

A hearing into 115 alleged breaches of Manchester City’s profit and sustainability rules (PSR) has been paused in what could cause a ‘huge headache’ for the Premier League.

An independent commission hearing began in September to examine 115 accusations made by the Premier League against Manchester City.

Premier League launches investigation City In 2018, after a series of legal delays, charges were finally laid in February 2023 and the club was referred to an independent commission.

The charges against the nationals relate to the requirement to accurately report financial information, including the value of sponsorship deals, the provision of manager and player pay information, and a club’s responsibility to comply with financial fair play rules as a member of the Premier League. .

The trial is nearing its end, but now Requested by Times He said the case would not be concluded before the end of the season and that it would ‘create a huge potential headache for the Premier League if sanctions were imposed that would affect other clubs’.

Manchester City and the Premier League are currently preparing closing arguments, but these will take several weeks to complete and then we will likely have to wait months for a decision, and a further few months if either party objects.

The report adds:

‘The lawyer website reported that the hearing at the International Dispute Resolution Center in London was paused while the two sides (City and the Premier League) prepared their closing arguments. Those won’t start until early to mid-December, and it could take three months or longer for the three-person commission to make a decision.

‘If City or the Premier League were to appeal this decision it would probably take another few months.

‘Last year a complex financial case heard by the High Court took 13 weeks to hear, similar to the City’s, but a year later there is still no decision. Other less complex cases may take much less time, but legal experts say it is impossible to predict how long the City’s case will take.’

Former Everton chief executive Keith Wyness has claimed that the decision on Manchester City’s case could take until 2026.

Wyness told Football Insider:: “After the talks are made public, and I think a three or four hundred page document will emerge, there will probably be objections.

“There may be a solution, it all depends on the decision to be reached. I hope that common sense will prevail and an agreement can be reached to put an end to this.

“But if there is an objection, it will take even longer. We could be talking about the end of 2025 or even the end of 2026. “Let’s wait and see how we come to the first decision and see if the cooler heads can prevail.”
