Manchester City have launched a legal challenge against the Premier League’s 115 charges in relation to alleged financial malpractice, according to reports.
The league leaders, who could seal a fifth title win in six seasons this weekend, were accused in February of breaking a host of rules around income and expenditure. And if found guilty they could end up being banned from the competition and even have their titles expunged.
But, according to The Times, the club have made the first steps in their fight against the allegations with a challenge that includes questioning the involvement of Murray Rosen KC, the head of the Premier League’s independent judicial panel, in addition to changes to the wording of the competition rulebook.
