The hearing into Manchester City’s charges for allegedly breaking Premier League financial rules will finally begin today. The reigning champions were charged and referred to an independent commission last February after a four-year investigation.
City were hit with 115 charges, with the alleged offences said to have taken place between 2009 and 2018. They have strongly denied any wrongdoing and have said that their case is supported by a ‘comprehensive body of irrefutable evidence’.
The hearing into the charges will take place entirely in private, with details likely to be few and far between throughout the process. It is expected to run for around 10 weeks, paving the way for a verdict to be announced in early 2025.
If found guilty, a range of punishments could be handed down to City including a limitless fine and expulsion from the Premier League.
