"Justice does not just need to be done - it needs to be seen to be done," said a lawyer of a rival Premier League club, highlighting the need for transparency in the Manchester City case. "There is no reason, in principle, why it is not being held in public. It would ensure it is covered accurately in the media and that the actual detail of any case - what exactly has been alleged and how it is being defended - is picked over and known to the fans. That in itself acts as a control over clubs and owners - who generally care very much about their image - to abide by the rules but is also a protection to help ensure a fair hearing."
Premier League clubs are requesting a public hearing for Manchester City's alleged rule breaches, emphasizing the importance of transparency in addressing such significant issues.
