Manchester City Will Want A Swift FFP Decision Before Next Season – Stefan Borson

Manchester City will have some concerns when it comes to their Financial Fair Play (FFP) case, Stefan Borson has said. The club’s former financial adviser recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, Manchester City will most likely want a final decision to be made before another campaign gets underway because while they have maintained their innocence throughout, they are aware that sanctions could be on the way.

Stefan, however, added that we are still in the relatively early stages of when we would expect a decision for a case of that magnitude.

His words, “I would work on the general understanding that sooner is better for City. Clearly, as we get further into the deliberation period, or the drafting period, then you start to think that the extent of the judgment needs to be particularly carefully drafted to ensure that there are no challenges to very serious findings.

Now, I don’t think we’re in that period yet, however, because I think that we are still in the relatively early stages of when we would expect a decision of a case of this magnitude. And furthermore, we don’t know the details of the diaries of the panel who are deliberating, so it may well have always been planned that they would have to take some time because it’s perfectly possible, for example, that they went straight into other work in the early part of this year.

It may be that those were other matters that have only just been completed, so the decision was always going to take probably until at the earliest April. We are now almost in July. I do think we are getting into the period where City will start to have some concerns about where the decision is. We are in that sort of early period still, but I think it will switch quite quickly into an area of concern for the club if it drags on closer to the start of the season.”

WOW.
