Manchester City are awaiting news of when their case shall be heard amid the allegations from the Premier League they have breached 115 Financial Fair Play (FFP) regulations
Manchester City supporters are continuing to await their hearing regarding the 115 alleged Financial Fair Play breaches.
Amongst all this background noise, City have continued to go about their business and are on track to create history by becoming the first English club to win the top flight on four consecutive occasions. With the FFP charges still dangling over them, MEN Sport has taken a look at the most-asked questions about the case and explained what you need to know.
It was alleged that City were driving money into the club through fictitious sponsorship packages, paying then-manager Roberto Mancini to act as a consultant to a club in Abu Dhabi and giving players more money than was going through the accounts. These allegations have all been denied robustly by the club.
Why is it taking so long? Frustration about how long this is taking is one that Premier League CEO Richard Masters alone must answer. However, his response has been to argue that, due to the complexity of the case against the Blues, it is taking longer to set a date for the hearing. Secondly, as Masters explained when he appeared before the Culture, Media and Sport committee earlier this year, the charges against the Blues are not comparable to Forest and Everton. "I can but they are very different charges," he said.
