Bombshell claim made about Man City's 115 charges verdict as 'complete disaster' scenario feared

A verdict on the case is still yet to be announced.

A new claim has been made about Manchester City's 115 charges case as the football world continues to await a verdict.

City were charged with 115 breaches of financial rules by the Premier League in February 2023, with a private hearing being held in December 2024.

City strenuously deny the charges and claim they have an 'irrefutable body of evidence' which defends their position.

The verdict of the case could have a monumental impact on English football, particularly if the club are found guilty of any charges.

Possible punishments include significant fines, points deductions, or even - in the harshest scenario - potential relegation from the Premier League.

The Premier League cannot administratively relegate teams from their division, but could impose a points deduction so significant that it would result in relegation.

Now, former City financial advisor Stefan Borson has claimed that a bombshell verdict may not be too far away.

Speaking on talkSPORT, he said: "I think City must be quite close... I think there's been a lot of misinformation about that situation.

"If you have a 12-week trial, it takes a long time for the decision to come out. In the outside world, it could easily take 12 or 18 months in a High Court equivalent.

"This week felt possible. I thought that if it didn't happen in the international window that we had in April, that the parties would find a way to hold it over until the end of the season so that it didn't distract.


"We're now in a zone where, commercially, if there's any influence at all from the parties - the Premier League or the club - they would want to get that decision out during the close season.

Advert

"What's the alternative? That it comes out in that three-week period after the Club World Cup, but before the start of the season. And that's sub-optimal.

"We're getting very close to a situation where, if it doesn't come out in the next couple weeks and doesn't come out during the Club World Cup, you're getting very close to the start of the season. Nobody's going to want that. That is a complete disaster."
