Rival Clubs Prepare Compensation Claims as Man City's 115‑Charge Verdict Remains Pending

A private 12‑week hearing concluded last year, and the independent panel has offered no timetable under strict confidentiality rules.

Overview

  • An independent three-person commission is still weighing evidence from the 2024 hearing, with no public timeline for a decision and appeal rights preserved for both sides.
  • The 115 alleged breaches span 2009–2018 and include inaccurate financial reporting, undisclosed payments, UEFA FFP and Premier League PSR issues, and alleged non-cooperation.
  • Premier League clubs’ collective legal bills since 2022–23 have exceeded £100m, with the City case responsible for the largest portion of those costs shared across the 20 clubs.
  • Liverpool’s FSG and other rivals are exploring compensation bids if City are found guilty, with the Everton–Leeds settlement cited as a potential precedent for lost‑revenue claims.
  • Potential sanctions range from fines and points deductions to transfer restrictions, title stripping or relegation, while Manchester City continue to deny all allegations and assert they have irrefutable evidence.
