Appeal Timeline
Manchester City lodged its appeal on Oct 2 following the independent commission's ruling. A new three-person Appeal Board must wrap up its review within 12 weeks. Accounting for the holiday shutdown, the full process including a 30-day verdict window points to a resolution as late as Feb. 8. The sanctions panel is expected to work in parallel so penalties can apply quickly if the appeal fails.
Possible Penalties
An unlimited fine is permitted, with reports indicating it could reach £500 million given the length of the breaches. A points deduction of at least 60 points could force relegation, though some view expulsion as more appropriate.
Further Steps If Needed
If sanctions are imposed, City would have another 14 days to appeal those penalties. That secondary process could stretch past the end of the season, potentially into mid-June. The league has not confirmed whether any ruling issued after the campaign would take effect immediately or the following year.
