What's going on with Premier League's 115 charges against Man City?
"Depending on the number of charges on which they are found guilty (if any) City could face a range of sanctions, from fines and points deductions to being stripped of titles to outright expulsion from the Premier League. If they're found guilty -- depending on the nature and number of the charges -- they also run the risk of having to pay damages but via the league's arbitration process as other clubs could seek compensation for lost revenue."
"While the complexity of the Manchester City case is undeniable -- and unique in a sporting context -- similar commercial cases have reached decisions in far less time than the 15 months we've seen here. There are few legitimate excuses, and there is an urgent need for progress."
"The investigation into City began in Dec. 2018 following the publication of the "Football Leaks" documents by the German magazine "Der Spiegel." But we only found out that there even was an investigation much later, illustrating how the process is shrouded in secrecy due to Premier League rules allowing confidential hearings and British law protections for defendants."
Manchester City has been charged by the Premier League with breaching multiple rules related to alleged wrongdoing, primarily involving circumventing financial regulations through false accounting, off-book payments, and failure to cooperate with investigators. The club denies all charges. Potential sanctions include fines, points deductions, title stripping, or expulsion from the league. If found guilty, City may also face damages through arbitration as other clubs could seek compensation for lost revenue. A three-person independent panel will issue the verdict. The case has taken over 15 months with limited progress, significantly longer than comparable commercial cases, raising concerns about the process's efficiency and legitimacy.
