"I think we're probably into the final reaches of getting a decision. I think part of the challenge has been that there are three very senior people who are making that final judgment. Getting those three together at the same time is actually very difficult. So that's delayed the case."
"The Premier League cannot relegate Manchester City to League One or League Two because that is an EFL decision and Manchester City have not had any charges proven against them by the EFL. Therefore, it has to be a points deduction."
"The accusations against Manchester City cover a nine-year period, so it is far bigger. The numbers involved we are not certain about, but they are likely to be quite significant. I think you have to add a zero to what we've seen in terms of Forest and Everton, so somewhere between a 40 and 60-point deduction would be, on merit to be consistent with what we've seen with other."
Manchester City faces 115 alleged breaches of Financial Fair Play regulations spanning 2009 to 2018. The independent hearing concluded in December 2024, but no verdict has been announced 14 months later. The delay stems from coordinating three senior judges' schedules. If found guilty, City cannot be relegated by the Premier League but faces a points deduction. Based on precedent from Everton and Nottingham Forest cases, experts estimate a 40-60 point deduction is likely, given the nine-year period covered and significant financial amounts involved. City has consistently denied all allegations.
