When will Man City learn FFP fate in 115-charge case? 'Surprised' claim made as Premier League champions 'keep pushing and delaying' amid relegation & points deductions gossip

Premier League

Tottenham

<p>There could be as many as 130 Financial Fair Play charges hanging over the reigning champions of England. If they are <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/man-city-settle-penalty-115-charge-ffp-case-rivals-punishments-premier-league-champions-saga-drag-years/bltf48404758b35df18" target="_blank">found guilty of monetary mismanagement</a>, then severe punishments may be handed out – with there plenty of gossip to be found regarding <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/out-league-season-or-two-man-city-brave-call-premier-league-expulsion-punishment-115-charge-ffp-case/blt8bb0e276e999bac1" target="_blank">demotion from the Premier League</a>, the <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/man-city-catastrophic-ban-all-competitions-guilty-ffp-breaches-english-football-thrown-into-chaos/blt3bd75759a2b6683a" target="_blank">EFL entirely</a>, or points deductions and transfer embargoes.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>City’s <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/man-city-fans-brace-bombshell-moments-115-charge-ffp-case-expert-warning-potential-leaks/blt0ff0eb66d808a5e0" target="_blank">case is finally being heard</a>, but there has been no word on when a final ruling will be delivered. Reports have suggested that a conclusion could be reached before the current calendar year comes to a close, but that may be ambitious.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Wyness – who spent five years working in the Premier League at Goodison Park and is a now a football consultant to elite clubs – has told <a href="https://www.footballinsider247.com/man-city-115-charges-case-may-be-extended-after-surprise-claim-keith-wyness/ " target="_blank"><em>Football Insider</em></a> of why the City saga may drag on for some time yet: "The theory is that a verdict will be due at the end of the year. As far as I know, they’re in the hearing every day – I don’t know if there have been breaks for certain witnesses. There’s a big veil of secrecy over the whole thing.</p><p>"Getting a verdict in 2024 is certainly the ambition but I still think this will drag on further. This is a big, big case with a lot of expert witnesses, testimony and documents to examine. I’ll be surprised if they can finish it this year. I’m expecting it to drag and drag and I think that will be one of City’s tactics – to keep pushing and delaying as far as they can."</p>
