""Well, look, nobody knows because even the parties themselves expected to have been told by now, Borson said. All the lawyers are surprised there is no decision at this stage, and that's on both sides. I'll tell you who's holding it up - the panel making the decision. They hold the pen. They are the people who everybody waits for to deliver the decision.""
""We can now assume, I think, given how long it has been and that everybody is so surprised that they don't have a decision, that actually there's very little guidance given""
""I think Simon (Pearce) thinks it's going to come out next year, I think it still could come out before Christmas. The decision has been imminent for quite some time, there's not a lot that they can do. It doesn't take that long.""
A verdict on Manchester City's 115 Premier League charges could arrive before Christmas. The alleged breaches span nine years during which City won Premier League titles in 2012, 2014 and 2018 and later additional titles under Pep Guardiola. The Premier League charged City in early 2023 and the hearing began last year, but no public verdict has been issued. The club has consistently denied wrongdoing. Lawyers on both sides are reportedly surprised by the delay. The decision-making panel has been identified as the party holding up the verdict, with limited guidance available so far.
