The two-and-a-half-year mystery surrounding Manchester City’s 115 Premier League charges is reportedly nearing its end, with a verdict expected around the November international break.
After an extensive hearing that began in September last year, legal sources suggest a ruling from the arbitration panel is now “imminent,” likely surfacing around mid-November. This outcome is anticipated to “totally overshadow” scheduled financial fair play votes.
Insiders warn the decision could be explosive, with one source declaring that after a long silence, “all hell could break loose when it lands.”
The case involves an estimated 250,000 documents. The expected November timeline aligns with the principle that deliberations take roughly four times the length of the hearing, which reportedly lasted 12 weeks.
The verdict, expected by the end of the year at the latest, will be a defining moment for the future of the Premier League.
