Manchester City’s hearing for the 115 Premier League charges will start on Monday 16th of September. This took a lot of time and it seems now that the procedure will start and finally we will get an answer from it.
The blue team of Manchester is being accused of breaking the financial rules of fair play from the year 2009 to 2018, nine years. During this time, they won a lot of major trophies in the English competitions.
Some of them are the four Premier League titles that they won in 2011/2012, 2013/2014, 2017/2018 and 2018/2019. Liverpool was close on getting the first spot twice, but they lost it to the Blues by a difference of 2 points in 2014 and a difference of 1 point in 2018.
Pep Guardiola is optimistic about the situation that the club is going through and he believes that the innocence of the club will be found during the hearing of the charges.
The hearing is expected to last at least two months, but the decision the FA will make is expected to last until late 2025.
Manchester City’s board and fans all are hoping that the innocent will be found, if not the punishment won’t be an easy one. The club could face direct relegation and they could lose the titles they won during that period.
If the decision of the punishment includes the removal of the Premier League titles, Liverpool could see themselves with two more league titles in their cabinet.
Lately, in the recent season that passed, we have seen two Premier League teams getting punished by the FA and the result did a lot of damage to the teams.
Everton and Nottingham Forest have been charged for breaching the Profitability and Sustainability Rules. But these two cases are nothing compared to the Manchester City ones as the Premier League rivals fans think.
Everton received a 10-point deduction in the league, which later was changed and it went from 10 points to only 6 points.
On the other hand, Nottingham Forest was punished with a 4 league points deduction.
Manchester City fans, be ready to hear for the worst when the decision comes because 115 charges will be nearly impossible to beat. Until then we can sit back and watch the new season of the Premier League.
Liverpool is having one of their best season starts with their new Dutch manager Arne Slot who replaced the legendary Jurgen Klopp. Three games on and the Reds are showing the Premier League teams that they will do anything to win the league.
Three matches, three wins in a row and no goals conceded for Liverpool and their next game is against Nottingham Forest at home in Anfield. We expect to see their new signing, Federico Chiesa in action this Saturday. The match will be played in Anfield, so it would be a proper welcome for the Italian at his new club.
