Man City predicted to have 'done quite well' in 115-charge FFP trial based on ex-Premier League CEO's 'trusted sources'

Premier League

Manchester United

Manchester City

<p>While City await the verdict of a lengthy legal battle after being hit with <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/what-happens-relegation-man-city-115-charge-ffp-case-complicated-appeals-punishments-threaten-premier-league-efl-disruption/blt40a22a0220411415" target="_blank">115 charges of alleged financial rule breaches</a> by the Premier League, former Everton and Aston Villa CEO Keith Wyness has weighed in on the matter. According to some of his "trusted sources", Pep Guardiola's men may get a more favourable ruling than some have predicted.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>He told <a href="https://x.com/footyinsider247/status/1902502848698486848" target="_blank">Football Insider</a>: "All the rumours and there's both sides of the rumour mill are going strongly that Man City are gonna escape, that there's a settlement being done behind the scenes - to the Premier League may well win. So right now you just pick your rumour and see where it goes. My own gut feeling and the sources that I've been trusting so far would tend towards City doing quite well in this case. But I don't think both parties will come out of it unscathed. Let's just wait and see."</p>

WHAT KEITH WYNESS SAID

<p>If found guilty, <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/man-city-100-point-guarantee-relegation-warning-ffp-fight-premier-league-champions-guilty-verdict-115-charge-case/bltbc616da1c0f314f4" target="_blank">City could face a huge points deduction</a>, but relegation and trophies being chalked off may be more unlikely. Either way, this has been a monumental story in English football and could have a huge impact on the sport going forward as a whole. </p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>It has been reported that a ruling on this seismic matter is likely to come out before the end of the current season. It is just a matter of wait and see. City are due back in action against Bournemouth in the FA Cup quarter-finals on March 30.</p>
