This Monday the trial begins, behind closed doors and in a place not yet disclosed to the general public, against City of Manchester as a result of the 115 charges he had for breaching the financial regulations of the Premier League in the period between 2009 and 2018, during which the ‘citizen’ team won the Premier League 3 times.
After preparing his dossier of accusation, the Premier decided in February 2023 to send the City of Manchester before an independent commission. The trial can last about two weeks, as the judge listens to all parties. But there is no verdict, it is estimated until the beginning of 2025.
The English media is already calling it “the sports process of the century.” This is unprecedented due to the number of offenses for which the Etihad club will be judged, 115. These are 80 financial violations and 35 additional violations due to the lack of cooperation during the investigation.
But experts point out that the matter can be settled by an economic penalty instead of a sports penalty like the one that, for example, received. Evertonwhere 8 points are deducted: 6 for the 2021-22 period and 2 for the 2022-23 period.
