Almost two months after it began, the “trial of the century” between Manchester City and the Premier League has just finished with the hearing stage. Targeted by 115 charges against him, including 80 potential financial offenses which would have occurred between 2009 and 2018, as well as non-compliance with UEFA financial fair play, the Mancunian club therefore took the necessary time to expose and develop its defense. The verdict is now awaited.
As confirmed by Dailymail This Monday, a new step has been reached. On the other hand, you will have to be particularly patient to know the result. The verdict should not come for several months, the media said. If Manchester City, which strongly denies the accusations against it, were found guilty of the most serious acts with which it is accused, it would face enormous financial sanctions, without forgetting the sporting aspect with a deduction of points, or even relegation.
You will have to be patient
But all this is not for tomorrow, especially since once the verdict is known, and if the two parties do not manage to find a possible agreement, each would have to appeal. And according to the
Dailymailsuch a scenario would result in a postponement of the final decision “not before next season”with the key “a situation of harmful legal vacuum”.
Patience is therefore essential in this affair which is causing a lot of noise in England and the Premier League. Manchester City are the current four-time defending champions in the league.
