An independent commission will be responsible for examining this burning issue in mid-December, according to information from the Financial Times. “A decision from the independent appeals panel is expected early next year. If the appeal is rejected, it will be followed by a decision concerning the sanctions to be imposed on the club,” our colleagues specify.
Remember that the Mancunian club is accused of having artificially inflated its financial situation by around 1 billion euros over a period of nine years, from 2009 to 2018.
