Manchester City may have to wait until after the current season for a verdict on their high-profile legal case with the Premier League over alleged financial breaches.
The club, charged in 2023 with over 100 violations spanning from 2009 to 2023, denies any wrongdoing. These allegations include accusations of false accounting and obstruction of investigations.
Although proceedings concluded in December, a final decision is yet to be announced.
Despite manager Pep Guardiola previously suggesting an update would arrive by March, reports now indicate that the outcome may still be months away. Potential consequences range from hefty fines to relegation.
City are also involved in a separate legal challenge against the league’s sponsorship rules, where they’ve already claimed a partial win. The full impact of both legal battles remains uncertain.
