The charges against Manchester City pertain to breaches of financial fair play rules spanning a nine-year timeframe from 2009 to 2018.
Throughout this period, the club has enjoyed considerable success, clinching the Premier League title three times, all while firmly denying any wrongdoing in relation to the allegations.
As the hearing approaches, the football world watches closely to see how this high-stakes situation will unfold.
As anticipation builds, it has been confirmed that the hearing related to these allegations is set to commence shortly, following reports that it would begin in September.
During the period from 2009 to 2018, Manchester City celebrated Premier League triumphs on three occasions, claiming the coveted title in 2012, 2014, and 2018, a feat that now hangs in the balance amid these serious accusations.
In his commentary for Betfair, Shearer reflected on the recent precedents set in the league, noting the points deductions faced by clubs like Everton and Nottingham Forest last season.
He also pointed out that Leicester City successfully defended their position before an independent committee. With the hearing for Manchester City just around the corner, Shearer candidly admitted, “I haven’t got a clue what is going to happen to Man City,”leaving fans and pundits alike on the edge of their seats as they await the verdict.
‘I think over the next weeks, months, or however long it’s going to take, none of us will know what’s going on, what’s happening behind those walls or what the verdict will be, if any.
“It’s just a matter of sitting tight and waiting, and then we will all have to make judgement when that comes. I think it’ll be a very long time before it comes out.”
“We don’t know whether they’re going to be found guilty of any, a handful or all the charges, so in terms of trying to predict what’s going to happen, I think it’s virtually impossible.”
