Manchester City’s handling of their 115 FFP charges has been criticized, with accusations that they are making a “mockery” of the Premier League due to their lack of cooperation. The frustrations stem from the delays in taking action against City, while other clubs have faced sanctions for similar violations.

Nottingham Forest recently received a four-point deduction, Everton had their initial 10-point deduction reduced to six, and Leicester is awaiting a decision on their punishment. City’s FFP breaches cover the period from 2009 to 2018 and include allegations of not disclosing financial remunerations to a manager, providing inaccurate financial information, and failing to comply with UEFA’s FFP rules.

Despite Premier League CEO Richard Masters confirming a hearing date for City, the specifics have not been disclosed, leading to speculation that it may not take place until 2025. There are concerns that City could potentially face expulsion from the Premier League for their significant transgressions, as suggested in Nottingham Forest’s documentation.

Journalist Pete O’Rourke shared insights from the Premier League about City’s case on the Football Insider’s Inside Track podcast, highlighting the club’s lack of cooperation in the process. O’Rourke emphasized that City’s 115 charges are more complex and the lack of progress in their case has been a source of frustration for many.

The delay in addressing City’s charges while other clubs face consequences has raised questions about the integrity of the Premier League. O’Rourke mentioned City’s history of fighting similar charges with UEFA and stressed the importance of making decisions for the good of the game.

Overall, the handling of City’s FFP charges has drawn criticism, with calls for action to be taken to maintain the credibility of the league. The situation remains unresolved, with uncertainty surrounding the eventual outcome of City’s case.
