"This first panel has shown that predicting timetables is a fool's errand. In the scenario that there are any guilty findings ... Manchester City [will] choose, perfectly reasonably, to appeal under Premier League appeal rules that will move forward, and that could be another three, six, nine, or 12 months at least. Crucially, at the same moment they are reviewing the decision, even in the scenario of any guilty findings, then the question of sanctioning would most likely be pushed down the road."
Manchester City faces an extensive Premier League investigation with as many as 134 alleged breaches of financial rules. The probe has reached three years since its launch, and an independent panel heard the case in December 2024. Potential punishments range from fines to points deductions or expulsion. Manchester City deny all allegations. Former club executive Christian Purslow expects that any guilty findings would be followed by an appeal that could add several months to over a year of delay, and that formal sanctioning would most likely be deferred while appeals proceed, leaving the timeline uncertain.
