What's next for Man City: How long will appeals, punishments take?

Manchester City have lodged their appeal against an independent commission's guilty verdict on all charges related to serious breaches of Premier League financial rules spanning nine seasons. The original judgment was published on September 29, coming 21 months after a 12-week hearing, as part of an investigation dating back to 2019. Sources told ESPN that the appeal process is expected to be resolved by the end of the current season, though City could pursue the case further in the UK High Court if the appeal fails and procedural irregularities can be proven.
