Manchester City Set to Defy Premier League Ruling on Crucial Point: Shocking Details Emerge
Manchester City still have significant hope in escaping from their recent Premier League charges with minimal punishment – based on a “core argument”.
Last month, an independent Commission found Manchester City guilty of all charges related to breaches of the Premier League’s financial rules over nine seasons, with a plethora of charges in relation to failure to cooperate with the league’s investigation.
In a statement, Richard Masters, Chief Executive of the Premier League, said, “The club systematically broke Premier League Rules for nearly a decade,” adding that “it is a key responsibility of the Premier League to ensure that the Rules, approved by the clubs themselves, are upheld to protect the integrity of the competition”.
Manchester City have hope of getting off from charges – but perhaps not all of them
Speaking on a recent edition of the Talking City podcast, Manchester Evening News’ chief Manchester City writer Simon Bajkowski explained the club’s stance following their appeal against the Premier League’s charges, stating that City “don’t need to overturn everything” – and that should they simply prove that they haven’t broken the rules regarding their “funding scheme”, they could still escape some punishments.
“It seems like City have a mountain to overcome – and it is a mountain, but it’s not a multitude of things: it’s basically a core argument,” Bajkowski said of the appeal.
