The highly anticipated verdict on Manchester City’s 115 alleged breaches of Premier League financial rules continues to be delayed, with senior league figures reportedly bracing for the outcome, which could arrive this month.
While the independent commission concluded its hearing last December, the decision remains elusive, keeping the Premier League’s governance under a cloud of uncertainty.
The case, which spans alleged breaches between 2009 and 2018, is seen as a pivotal moment for the league's financial regulations.
The looming possibility of severe sanctions for City, including a points deduction or even expulsion, is driving the continued political tension among rival clubs and the push for new financial controls, such as the proposed squad cost ratio.
