Manchester City may face sanctions from the Premier League for their 115 alleged breaches in the coming weeks.
Leeds United could gain from any penalties imposed on Manchester City for their 115 alleged violations of Premier League Financial Fair Play (FFP) regulations.
Last season, Man City were charged with rule violations spanning 2009 to 2018. Fifty-four of those were for the club failing to report accurate financial information, 35 for failing to cooperate with league authorities, 14 for failing to provide accurate information on player and manager payments, seven for violating the Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSR), and five for violating UEFA’s FFP rules.
Man City have firmly denied the allegations by the Premier League but a dark cloud has hung over them as they await the breaches to be heard. Recent reports have claimed that the hearing will take place in the ‘next few months’ with no public confirmation of a date as of yet, while in the past it has been speculated a verdict could only arrive after the end of the 2024/25 campaign.
Because the precedent for a case of this magnitude has yet to be established, it is unclear what punishment the soon-to-be Premier League champions will face if proven guilty for the fourth year in a row. Title revocation, demotion, financial fines, and transfer embargoes are just a few of the options put out by the independent panel.
However, depending on how the club is penalized, Leeds may be eligible to millions in consolation prize money. Data researchers at Best Payout Online Slots have shown that over £350 million may be owing to Premier League clubs dating back to 2011.
The central payments are classified into six types: Equal Share, Facility Fees, Merit Payment, International Equal Share, International Merit Payment, and Central Commercial. To calculate the potential compensation, data from official Premier League sources and news sites were used.
According to the figures, Leeds got £33.9 million in central payments during their three seasons in the top division, which ran from 2011/12 to 2022/23. If Manchester City is ordered to pay compensation to other clubs, another £6.5 million might be sent to Elland Road, according to reports.
However, any payout is expected to take some time, as the independent panel appears to be some way from reaching a final decision.
