Manchester City, Liverpool, and Arsenal are locked in a tight battle for the Premier League title.
However, Manchester City’s pursuit of success is overshadowed by the looming threat of 115 Financial Fair Play (FFP) accusations against them.
In a season where Nottingham Forest faced similar charges, they received a four-point deduction, pushing them into the relegation zone of the Premier League standings.
Everton has also faced consequences for their violations. Yet, Manchester City remains uncertain about the outcome of their case.
The allegations against Manchester City, spanning nine seasons from 2009 to 2018, when they secured the league title three times, have put them under scrutiny.
Despite denying the allegations, they face a different scenario compared to clubs like Everton and Nottingham Forest.
Premier League chief executive Richard Masters emphasized that the charges against Manchester City are distinct, and their proceedings are handled differently.
Unlike other clubs, there isn’t a predetermined timeframe for the resolution of their case.
While there hasn’t been official confirmation, rumors suggest that a hearing might take place in the fall of 2024.
If found guilty, Manchester City could face various penalties, including fines, potential relegation, and even the forfeiture of titles won during the period in question.
