Man City financial charges: how close is the case to resolution?

Two weeks after the Premier League’s independent commission published its findings against Manchester City, Sky Sports asks how close the club is to reaching a resolution on the financial charges case.

Sky Sports News chief correspondent Kaveh Solhekol says the process has taken so long because it is the biggest case of its kind, and City have been using every means available to argue their innocence. The Premier League wants a quick resolution, while City’s position—within their rights—is to pursue every legal avenue.

Hearing can run with the appeal

Solhekol notes that the sanctions hearing can take place while the appeal is ongoing. He also highlights a wider pressure factor: with City continuing their run at the top of the table, the situation becomes increasingly uncomfortable for the Premier League and rival clubs.
