Man City rule breaches hearing brought forward: report
Manchester City’s hearing into 115 alleged breaches of Premier League financial regulations has been brought forward to next month, according to a report in The Times.
The planned November start of an independent commission, scheduled to last 10 weeks, has reportedly been moved to mid-to-late September, with a verdict likely to be delivered early in 2025.
Neither the Premier League nor Manchester City have commented.
The report in The Times says the outcome of a separate legal case which City brought against the league’s associated party transactions rules – in which clubs strike sponsorship or revenue deals with businesses linked to their owners – is due in the next fortnight.
That, it is claimed, has allowed the hearing into the 115 charges – which City deny – to be brought forward, barring any further legal delays.
It is still unknown how heavily City could be punished if found guilty, but points deductions and even relegation are thought to be possibilities.
