Manchester City's appeal hearing to take place in December

The Premier League charged Manchester City with more than one hundred serious financial rule breaches this year. An independent commission concluded that the club broke league rules over nine years by inflating sponsorship deals. The club maintains that it is innocent and has appealed the decision.

According to the Financial Times, the appeal hearing will take place in December. The decision is expected to be announced in 2027. If the appeal is lost, sanctions will be applied to Enzo Maresca's team.

The press suggests that the club could face a record points deduction, which could lead to relegation. The team's future therefore appears to depend on the outcome of the appeal.
