While City awaits the verdict of a long legal battle after being accused of 115 charges for alleged violation of financial rules by the Premier League, Keith Wyness, former CEO of Everton and Aston Villa, spoke on the subject. According to some of his “reliable sources”, Pep Guardiola's men could obtain a more favorable than expected judgment.
He told Football Insider: ” All the rumors, and both camps, are going well: Manchester City will get out of it, an agreement is being negotiated behind the scenes, and the Premier League could well win. For now, just choose her rumor and see where she is leading. My intuition and the sources I have trusted so far for a good performance of City in this case. But I don't think the two parties will get out of it. Let's wait to see. »»
The verdict is near
If it is found guilty, City could be removed a large number of points, but a relegation and canceled trophies are more improbable. Anyway, this case has been a date in English football and could have a considerable impact on the future of sport.
It has been reported that a decision on this subject should be made before the end of the current season. It only remains to wait. City is expected to return to Bournemouth in the quarterfinals of the FA Cup on March 30.
