Manchester City Director Believes Bookkeeping Fraud Case Will Last Years
Manchester City general director Ferran Soriano expects the club's legal battle regarding bookkeeping fraud to continue for several years. The Premier League found City guilty of violating 114 financial regulations between 2009 and 2018, alleging artificial inflation of income through opaque structures. Soriano reportedly told fellow European Football Clubs executives that the process has taken eight years and will require significantly more time to resolve. While the club plans to appeal the verdict, potential penalties range from fines and point deductions to relegation. The specific punishment remains undecided as the club challenges the findings.
