CurrentReport Blog Manchester City is on the brink of learning the outcome of its long-running financial fair play (FFP) case, with a verdict expected in the spring. The Premier League champions have strongly denied all 115 charges leveled against them, but the independent panel tasked with reviewing the case will soon decide the club’s fate—more than two years after they were initially charged.
If found guilty of any of the charges, Manchester City faces a potentially lengthy wait to discover what sanctions will be imposed. The process of determining punishment will not be handled by the independent panel but will involve a separate decision-making process. Both the Premier League and Manchester City will have the right to appeal any sanctions handed down.
Under Premier League rules, possible punishments for violating financial fair play regulations could include significant points deductions, a transfer ban, or even expulsion from the English top flight. While Manchester City maintains its innocence, the outcome of this case could have major implications for the club’s future in the Premier League.
