Manchester City's long-running Premier League charges saga has taken a fresh twist after reports emerged suggesting the club has been found guilty on the majority of the 115 alleged breaches, according to Sky Sports.
The Premier League has notably declined to comment on the leak, leaving fans and rivals alike questioning when an official verdict will actually be announced. Sky Sports notes the timing and seriousness of Friday's leak raises significant questions about the integrity of the process, given the case's independent commission was meant to deliver its findings confidentially before any public disclosure.
Also under scrutiny is why City, who have consistently denied wrongdoing, would be unable to appeal any adverse ruling to the Court of Arbitration for Sport, unlike in other football disciplinary matters — a point of contention given the scale of potential sanctions the club could face.
With no official confirmation from the Premier League as things stand, uncertainty continues to swirl around one of English football's most significant regulatory cases, and Sky Sports says the full picture, including any punishment, is still awaited.
