The looming possibility of 115 Financial Fair Play (FFP) claims against Manchester City, on the other hand, casts a shadow over the club’s efforts to achieve success.
During a season in which Nottingham Forest was subjected to charges that were comparable to those that they were facing, they were penalized with four points, which placed them in the relegation zone of the Premier League rankings.
Everton has also been subjected to repercussions as a result of their infractions. On the other hand, Manchester City is still lacking clarity regarding the outcome of their case.
As a result of the charges that have been made against Manchester City, which span nine seasons, from 2009 to 2018, during which they won the league championship three times, they are currently under careful examination.
However, in contrast to clubs such as Everton and Nottingham Forest, they are in a different situation despite the fact that they have denied the charges.
Richard Masters, the chief executive officer of the Premier League, highlighted that the claims against Manchester City are distinct, and that their proceedings are handled differently.
In contrast to other clubs, there is no set period of time that has been established for the conclusion of their court action.
There is a possibility that a hearing will take place in the autumn of 2024, although there has been no formal confirmation or confirmation of this.
In the event that Manchester City is found guilty, the club may be subject to a number of punishments, such as monetary fines, the possibility of being demoted, and potentially the loss of any titles that were won during the relevant time period.
