Manchester City has been accused of 130 (initially 115) financial irregularities and the case is still unresolved. Financial expert Stephen Bolson revealed on the talkSPORT program that the case may be about to usher in new major developments.
Boulson said: "As of last weekend, neither the Premier League nor Manchester City, the two parties to the dispute, have received the final decision from the arbitration panel. This is not a situation where both parties have known the results and are negotiating behind the scenes. The fact is very simple, that is, they have not received the verdict yet.
"I think there is absolutely no reason to continue delaying now. Even though the arbitrator may be busy with other matters, it is extraordinary that no timetable has been set and no remuneration has been arranged for the past ten months. In any event, ten months would be enough time to produce a detailed ruling of four to five hundred pages in this case. I think the verdict is imminent.
"Although I have expressed the same view here many times, I do think that this international match day is an excellent time to announce it. Now it seems that the possibility of announcement during the next international match day is very high, and I really don't think the case will be delayed until 2026.
"I firmly believe that there will be a result within this year, and the judgment can almost be said to have been completed. As for why the results haven't been sent to all parties yet? I'm not sure, maybe it was delivered within the past 24 hours. But what is certain is that there have never been any secret discussions or private settlements as of last weekend, the situation is very simple, they have not received the judgment yet. ”
