Manchester City face significant obstacles in their attempt to overturn a finding that they breached the Premier League’s financial rules, according to a leading lawyer.
The club is pursuing an appeal against the ruling, but the lawyer said City would have to overcome “substantial hurdles” to have any prospect of success. No further details of the appeal arguments or the specific financial rules involved were provided.
The case places the focus on whether Manchester City can challenge the finding through the appeal process. The outcome could determine whether the existing decision is upheld or overturned.
For now, the appeal remains the next stage in the dispute, with the club seeking to establish grounds for the original ruling to be changed.
