Manchester City’s long-awaited hearing into 115 alleged breaches of Premier League rules has concluded, though a verdict is not expected until 2025.
The Daily Mail reported that closing arguments in the case, which began on September 16 at London’s International Dispute Resolution Centre, were delivered to an independent panel on Friday1.
City strongly deny any wrongdoing but could face severe sanctions if found guilty, including relegation from the Premier League. Last season, Everton and Nottingham Forest faced points deductions for breaching the league’s profit and sustainability regulations1.
The English champions are accused of 80 financial rule breaches between 2009 and 2018, alongside 35 charges of failing to cooperate with a Premier League investigation.
Since Sheikh Mansour, a member of the UAE royal family, took over in 2008, Manchester City have become a dominant force in English football, winning eight of the last 13 Premier League titles, including four consecutive crowns1.
