Manchester City's financial charges case against the Premier League continues, with conflicting reports on when a verdict may be delivered. The Independent's Miguel Delaney has suggested the outcome could come around Easter or during the summer, though no official timeline has been provided.
Football finance specialist Kieran Maguire has indicated that if found guilty of numerous infractions in their 115-charge hearing, City could face a points deduction of 40 to 60 points. The club vehemently denies any wrongdoing.
A 12-week hearing between City lawyers and the Premier League took place nearly 18 months ago, but the final outcome is still pending. The Athletic reported in mid-March that anonymous sources on both sides have not received updates from the independent panel on timings.
Former City defender Richard Dunne criticised the prolonged process, saying it undermines the Premier League. He suggested a decision should be left until the summer to avoid disrupting the title race.
