WILL TAN GO AFTER MAN CITY FOR COMPENSATION. ??

We all know the dictator loves a court case or two so will he try and claim from Man City. Our last visit to the premier league ended with us being relegated but three more points would have kept us up, Man City beat us twice that season. Watch this space.

Like you say, he loves a court case so probably.

I think many clubs will be in contact with their lawyers to see what can be done. However, I think those most likely to succeed are the clubs that missed out on titles and European places.

Although there is precedent. After Everton were found to have broken PSR rules, Burnley claimed they had a loss of income due to relegation and they got £35m from Everton.

There will be dozens of clubs waiting in the wings to see how far down the ladder compensation payments will be handed out, this could cost Man City billions.

It's a good question and yes I think he probably will.

Unfortunately though that will result in tan still being here for years to come

Probably Yes anything for another Court Case

There are reports that the Premier League could centralise it.

So all clubs who want to claim compensation put their case forward and the Premier League lawyers take the case on.

Seems more sensible than having loads and loads of individual cases.

Dont people think the club as a right to join the other clubs that could sue man c? Or is there going to be condemnation of club for going after what other clubs are doing in similar situation!

Nobody is going to get any compensation this is pie in the sky stuff

Trouble is man u .. .arsenal... Spurs.... and Liverpool had pre booked compo claims if man c were fpund guilty so don't think they'll withdraw their interest in claiming from them do you? After all its a lot of dosh whether they can get any is open to debate.....

That's not quite right. They've left themselves the opportunity to pursue it. There was a limitation of 6 years on legal action otherwise the bar gets raised significantly to get compensation. So basically only those clubs have a hope of getting anything. And yes I think they'll withdraw their interest apparently there's zero appetite from any of those teams to go after City for compensation. Far more likely it'll be used as leverage to get City to accept whatever negotiated punishment they end up with

If you were getting the impression that the saga over Manchester City's 115 charges was almost over, think again.

Two years and 10 days since the hearing began, and 1,329 days after City were charged, we now know a verdict has been reached, with the club guilty of the majority of financial rule breaches.

That is not because the Premier League or Manchester City have told us - it is thanks to the Athletic finding out and breaking the story., external

BBC Sport was later told the verdict was sent during the week to club executives, who had to sign a non-disclosure agreement to open the file.

A process can appear to be completely watertight, as this one certainly had been, but when the circle of trust is expanded, the chance of information getting out increases.

Despite this, public silence from the Premier League continues.

City did not address whether they had been found guilty in a statement making it clear - with an appeal expected - that the "process remains ongoing" from their point of view.

It all points to the suggestion that the long-awaited decision of the independent panel was not a case of this process nearing an end, but perhaps instead reaching the end of the beginning.

It appears the chaos and uncertainty is only going to increase now.

City fans, and the rest of football, are left to guess what the punishment might be. And when this all might reach a definitive conclusion.

The charges are so serious that some form of points deduction now appears inevitable, subject to the appeal by City, who have always insisted they have done nothing wrong.

When and how any punishment is applied will be crucial not just for City, but the Premier League as a whole.
