A huge update has landed in regards to Manchester City just as the new English Premier League season begins.
For a while now, people have been waiting for an update on the 115 charges levelled at the current English champions.
Since February 2023, when Manchester City were first charged with breaking financial fair play (FFP) rules, teams have been asking for some clarification on the matter.
Speculation has been rife around whether City will be relegated based on the number of charges.
It seems that we’ll soon find out.
The Times are reporting that the hearing for the charges against Manchester City is set to start next month.
Originally thought to be taking place in November, sources have told the newspaper that it has been set to begin in mid to late September.
It is believed that the outcome will now be known in the early part of the new year.
According to the information provided by The Times, the hearing is scheduled to last for 10 weeks.
Manchester City have brought their own case against the Premier League’s associated party’s transactions (APT) and the outcome of that will be known in the next two weeks.
That will lead to the hearing of the 115 charges case.
The Times report that there is a belief that City have achieved some success in their arbitration hearing.
There are currently no details available on what those successes are in particular.
In a separate case, Manchester City were fined by the English Premier League for breaking rules in regards to kick-off timings.
