It has been suggested that Manchester City s Premier League would want a serious sanction if Pep Guardiola s side are found guilty of breaching FFP rules.
The Premier League champions were charged at the start of 2023 after being accused of breaching over 100 Financial Fair Play rules. This followed a four-year probe into their conduct between 2009 and 2018.
If are found guilty of the charges, they could be given a huge fine, points deduction, transfer ban or even be expelled from the Premier League.
This case has already dragged on longer than most would have liked, but a further spanner was thrown into the works at the start of this year.
This came as as they were campaigning for the removal of Associated Party Transaction (APT) rules.
This case has already been heard but it s yet to be revealed whether the verdict was in Man City s favour.
The decision is unlikely to be made public until the FFP hearing which started earlier this week concludes.

Former Everton and Aston Villa CEO Keith Wyness has been asked about the situation
He reckons Liverpool and Co. want a serious sanction if their Premier League rivals are found guilty of cheating .
Wyness explained: “It’s a difficult position to be in for the other clubs.
“You know this is damaging the Premier League, the competition you are a shareholder in.
“The clubs want to see justice done in some way, but the circus is going to damage every club in the top flight. I think the other sides will want a speedy resolution, which we might not get.
“These clubs will want justice to be seen to be done. If it’s a technicality and Man City get off, just like Leicester did, then they’ll be very angry.
“If Man City have cheated, then they’ll want them to be penalised. As a CEO, I’d want a serious sanction.”
