Attention is drawn to the fate of Manchester City (hereinafter referred to as Manchester City).
“The trial of Manchester City, which is suspected of violating 115 Premier League (PL) regulations, will begin on the 16th,” British media ‘BBC’ reported on the 12th (local time). “The trial, organized by the Independent Committee, will last about 10 weeks, starting with the hearing on the 16th, and the ruling will be made early next year.” 메이저놀이터
Manchester City had its heyday in the late 2000s thanks to its aggressive ‘oil money’ investment. It began to pass the ‘big four’ positions of Arsenal, Liverpool, Chelsea, and Manchester United, gradually progressing from the 2011/12 PL victory to the second treble in English history in the 2022/23 season.
However, the city has been labeled as “115 charges (115 charges)” throughout its history. Pep Guardiola, the city’s manager, also expressed his public disappointment at the less-than-appreciated achievement. Then, what are the “charges” that harass Manchester City dearly.
The PL indicted Manchester City on a total of 115 charges, claiming that it failed to comply with FFP regulations for nine seasons from 2009/10 to 2017/18, and failed to cooperate properly with the investigation. They say capital investment was not conducted in a normal way.
Not only that, but also suspicions were raised that he exaggerated his sponsor’s income and made illegal contact with promising players. As a result, the UEFA banned Manchester City from participating in the European match in the past, but nothing happened when Manchester City successfully appealed to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS).
However, the PL is determined not to repeat the same mistakes as UEFA. Unlike UEFA, which has a fixed statute of limitations even when dealing with the same issue, the PL does not have a separate period of time, so it can be disciplined even if it is attributable to the past. This is why Manchester City cannot afford to lose its tension no matter how confident it is.
The media predicted, “If Manchester City is convicted, it could face a point cut to the level that relegation would become a fait accompli or severe disciplinary action to remove the PL.” In addition, he said, “The possibility of worsening relations between the countries of the United Kingdom and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) cannot be ruled out.”
