Manchester City have confirmed they will appeal the Premier League's guilty verdict in the 115 charges case and a leading barrister has warned it could be years before a conclusion
Manchester City have confirmed they will appeal the Premier League's guilty verdict regarding their 115 financial charges. The Premier League found the club guilty of serious financial breaches, including inflating sponsorship agreements and using 'sham' contracts, but Manchester City reaffirmed their innocence and will present their case to a new independent panel.
Under league rules, the private appeal should conclude within 12 weeks of being heard, likely pushing a verdict into 2027. However, barrister Paul Gilroy KC warned the legal process could extend for years if external court challenges follow, suggesting the dispute will not conclude quickly without a negotiated settlement.
