The hearing into Manchester City’s 115 alleged breaches of Financial Fair Play (FFP) rules will start in September, according to The Times. This date is about two months earlier than initially anticipated.
The hearing has been moved up due to City’s ongoing legal battle with the Premier League, with a verdict expected in the next two weeks.
Manchester City initiated legal action in June, challenging the Associated Party Transaction (APT) rules, which they argue are unlawful and discriminatory. These rules, introduced in 2021, are central to the dispute.
The hearing on the alleged breaches is expected to last around 10 weeks, assuming there are no additional legal delays. An independent commission is anticipated to deliver their verdict at the beginning of 2025.
