Man City 115 charges theory emerges as Liverpool await verdict on Premier League case

Simon Jordan believes "a deal may be struck" regarding Manchester City's 115 charges for alleged Premier League financial breaches.

Liverpool's top flight rivals were charged in February 2023 over historical breaches of the league's Financial Fair Play (FFP) rules between 2009 and 2018. City have strongly denied all charges while an independent commission scrutinises the case.

It has recently been reported that the club are gearing up to take legal action against the Premier League, with reports indicating their intent to dismiss the league's 'unlawful' Associated Party Transaction (APT) regulations.

And now Simon Jordan, former owner of Crystal Palace, has expressed his opinion on talkSPORT. "There is so much at play here. Part of owning a football club is because you are utilising it for some form of influence," he said.

"There are political things at play here. That is why I think there may well will be a deal struck that means everybody drops hands and some consequence is wreaked upon City and some solution is enabled for the Premier League."

Premier League chief Richard Masters announced that the hearing concerning this City case would occur in the "near future". Furthermore, he also certified that he is obligated by top-flight protocols, which prohibit him from disclosing additional information.

City chairman Khaldoon al-Mubarak expressed his frustration during an end-of-season briefing with the club's internal media. Despite a successful campaign that saw them secure a record-breaking fourth consecutive Premier League title, he has expressed frustration over the allegations.

He said: "Of course, it's frustrating. The referencing is always frustrating. I feel for our fanbase and everyone associated with the club to have these charges constantly referenced. It's taking longer than anyone hoped for but there is a process we have to go through. I've always repeated, let's be judged by the facts and not by claims and counterclaims."
