Premier League clubs are reportedly furious over the uncertainty surrounding Manchester City's punishment, as the club awaits the outcome of its appeal and sanctions hearings following a guilty verdict on 114 financial charges.
The fallout continues to dominate the top flight, with reports suggesting rivals are unsure what they are playing for as City maintain their phenomenal start to the season while potential sanctions loom large.
Appeal and Sanctions Timeline
The club has appealed against the decision and is expected to find out in early 2027 if that appeal is successful, but a sports lawyer has explained why it could be difficult.
At the same time, a sanctions hearing is taking place, with potential punishments ranging from a fine to Premier League expulsion. The three-person commission that deemed City in breach will make that decision, with the latest claim being that they will know their possible sanctions before the end of the season.
Rivals' Concerns
Enzo Maresca's men continued their winning start to the Premier League season by beating Ipswich Town to remain top of the table. However, some of their top-flight rivals are said to be 'unsure' about what they are playing for while the case remains unresolved.
