On the other hand, delays could cause the process to drag on longer. It would be impossible to conceive a scenario in which they would not appeal, should any party find the final result unacceptable. A situation like that would take a long time.

Over the course of 14 seasons, starting in 2009–10, City is accused of breaking 115 laws.

The accusations centre on allegations of financial reporting irregularities and noncompliance with an ongoing Premier League inquiry that began in 2018. City disputes any misconduct.

A month after City’s charges were made public, in March, Everton was charged with violating financial regulations. Earlier this month, they were handed a 10-point deduction, which they have now challenged.
