Whenever any club is charged, or punished, the same question is spat across the internet a thousand times -'What about City?'
Unfortunately, such curiousness about City rarely translates into those people finding the answers out for themselves. Here, then, is a handy guide to what the Blues have been accused of and why their case is different to most others.
WHAT ABOUT CITY?
A fair question to ask. City have been charged by the Premier League with more than breaches of Premier League rules spanning 14 seasons.
There are accusations with not co-operating with the Premier League investigation, not abiding by PSR regulations, and - most damningly nine seasons of essentially not giving truthful and accurate information about their finances.
These are incredibly damaging allegations that, if proven (and it's a big if), would warrant incredibly serious punishments. Barely any details of the case can be made public, although a date for City's hearing has been set.
It is expected to be later in 2024, with the intention of everything being cleared up by the end of the 2024/25 campaign.
WHY HAS IT TAKEN SO LONG?
City were charged in February 2023, so the whole process could take over two years to complete. That feels like a long time, and Pep Guardiola is included in the long list of people who would like it wrapped up sooner.
