A football finance expert has predicted the outcome for Manchester City's trial over 115 alleged FFP rule breaches, saying the case could last "years and years".
These charges relate to the time period between 2009 and 2018, with the Manchester-based club strenuously denying the allegations made relating to financial irregularity.The discussion around City's trial has been a huge talking point for months and back in March, football finance expert Rob Wilson predicted that City will attempt to drag the case out for a long period.
"Manchester City will wrap the Premier League up in so much litigation that it will just become boring and laborious and I think it will fizzle out. That's the kind of travesty with it when you takeWilson added at the time: "You need to multiply that by 115. If it takes three months to do one charge, you know, just 115 multiplied by three and you start to get a sense of the scale of what's going on.
