Manchester City will soon get to know their fate as it concerns the 115 charges that they have been accused of by the English Premier League.
Premier League chief executive Richard Masters has indicated the hearing into Manchester City’s 115 charges will take place “shortly.” In 2023, the 2022/23 Premier League champions were hit with charges about alleged Financial Fair Play breaches.
The alleged breaches cover over 9 years and are purported to span from 2009 which is a year after the club was bought by Sheikh Mansour until 2018, which was when an investigation into the club was opened by the Premier League.
Masters confirmed while speaking at a press conference for the European Leagues on Friday, April 26, 2024, that a date has been set aside for the hearing of the 2022/23 treble winners.
He said,
‘We can’t comment on the case, the date is set,’ Masters added. ‘The case will resolve itself at some point in the near future.’
The charges against the club include claims over financial reporting and a lack of cooperation with the Premier League investigation six years ago (2016). However, Man City are not able to take any additional appeals to the Court of Arbitration for Sport, where they had the ban placed by UEFA in the Champions League overturned.
