Manchester City and the Premier League are set for an extensive battle to determine if serious allegations can be proven
After appealing the UEFA decision in 2019, the Blues felt vindicated when the Court of Arbitration for Sport sided with their case and completely overturned a two-year ban from the Champions League. The club have welcomed an independent commission to look into the Premier League charges, hoping for a similar outcome.
"The outcome depends on which charges stick. If ultimately the only thing the Premier League gets success on is Manchester City dragging their heels, then I think they will look fairly foolish. Surely, such is the severity of the allegations and accusations that the position for one of the two parties is going to be untenable by the end of this.
Regardless of the timing, it will not change anything for the Blues if they are found to have committed these breaches. They will have to accept the punishment they are given for thinking that they could bypass the laws of competition that they had signed up to. "But it then calls into question what is the purpose of FFP. Is it there to prevent new money from challenging old money, is it there to create a cartel? There are broader issues at play here than just Manchester City.
