Mystery Deepens: Manchester City’s 115-Charge Verdict Faces Another Unexpected Delay
Further complicating the matter is the issue of when sanctions should be enforced. Should City be found guilty, there is already debate about whether any punishment should take immediate effect or be delayed pending appeal. Some club officials fear that any enforced delay would dilute the impact of sanctions and lead to protracted uncertainty—possibly dragging well into the 2026/27 season.
In the meantime, the case has frozen the league’s appetite for reform. Key decisions on governance, financial controls, and even ownership models are reportedly being postponed, as clubs hesitate to make bold institutional changes that might soon be rendered moot depending on the case’s outcome. This paralysis underscores how existential the matter has become—not only for Manchester City, but for the league’s entire regulatory framework.
