"The hearing into the club's alleged violations concluded way back in December 2024 following a 12-week tribunal. Despite ending over 12 months ago, the independent commission has still to make its findings public. The Etihad outfit continue to deny any wrongdoing."
"It's unclear what Man City's final punishment will be if found guilty, but there have been plenty of theories as to what it might be. Some experts have suggested a 60-point deduction could be handed out. There are others who also believe the club should be stripped of any titles won during this period."
"However, if Man City are stripped of their titles, the Gunners likely won't be compensated with a late Premier League award. This is because the charges brought against the club are for allegedly violating financial regulations between 2009 and 2018."
Manchester City awaits the independent commission's verdict on 115 charges alleging financial regulation violations, with the hearing concluding in December 2024 after 12 weeks. The club denies wrongdoing. Potential punishments include a 60-point deduction or title stripping. If titles are stripped, runner-up teams from the charged period (2009-2018) could receive belated Premier League awards. Manchester United finished second in 2011/12, when City won dramatically with Sergio Aguero's last-gasp goal. Other English teams also finished second during this timeframe. Arsenal, despite being runners-up in recent seasons, would not benefit as those victories occurred outside the charged period.
