A lot of infractions, the different accusations against Manchester City

The trial, expected to take place in autumn 2024, will be the largest hearing in Premier League history. The end of this season will be key, the date on which Pep Guardiola's contract expires with the Cityzen team.

The process has been very secretive, but the aforementioned media indicates that it is in the stage of taking statements from witnesses, which will continue until spring 2024. The charges of which Manchester City is accused include accusations about financial reports and lack of cooperation with a Premier investigation, something the club denies.

We are innocent until proven otherwise, said Guardiola in the preview of Manchester City 1-1 Liverpool. I know that people want City to be punished. I'm sorry. When the sentence is known, we will come here and explain, says the Spanish coach.

Everton were accused of breaching financial rules in March, a month after City's charges were announced, and were handed a 10-point ban earlier this month, which the Liverpool club has appealed.

Verdict in 2025

The Daily Mail indicates that, if everything continues its course, there will be a verdict in the summer of 2025. At that time it will be known if there are sanctions for the current European and English champions. However, delays can make the process longer, in addition to the appeals that both sides could use.
