Since Monday’s shocking news that the Premier League had charged Manchester City with over 100 breaches of their financial rules, speculation and uncertainty has engulfed the club.
City contest the charges that allege they breached financial regulations over several seasons, following a long-term investigation by the league’s hierarchy, but the assignment to an independent review panel will likely stretch the process out even longer
Among all the drama, there is a lack of clarity as to the exact time-frame, what could happen to City if they are found guilty of some or all of the charges, and what this means for the future of City’s spending, Pep Guardiola’s future of the club as a whole.
In an attempt to provide some clarity, chief City writer Simon Bajkowski was joined by the business of football writer Dave Powell on a live Q&A to answer any questions.
