Man City learn start date for their 115 charges hearing
Man City learn start date for their 115 charges hearing. The hearing into Manchester City’s alleged 115 charges of financial rule breaches, will begin on Monday, September 16.
City were initially charged back in February 2023, but due to a lengthy process of preparing for trial, it has further dragged on, leading to significant frustration among rival fans, as both Everton and Nottingham Forest were sanctioned for their own financial breaches inside a matter of weeks.
A handful of speculative schedules have been suggested, but now numerous reports have confirmed City’s hearing will finally begin on Monday.
The Times note that the trial was initially expected to begin in November but, with a desire to find a solution before 2025, things have been brought forward two months, with the hearing is scheduled to last ten weeks.
City have consistently denied any wrongdoing and vowed to produce evidence to clear their name, having previously fought off a European ban from UEFA in 2020 for wider financial breaches.
La Liga president Javier Tebas, who has spoken openly about City’s charges in the past, recently claimed that most Premier League sides are pushing for severe sanctions to be handed out.
“I have spoken with many Premier League clubs and most of them understand that City should be sanctioned,” Tebas claimed.
