Stefan Borson, Man City's former financial advisor and now chief executive and general counsel of Watchstone Group, believes that it is unlikely that the reigning Premier League champions will be able to take any appeal to the English courts but the case could still take years to resolve.
He said: "I think it is unlikely that the club will be able to appeal to the English courts due to the Premier League’s rules requiring its disputes to be dealt with by the commission and arbitration. The seriousness of these allegations is likely to mean it will be a long time before the disciplinary process can be completed — I would not be at all surprised if it took in excess of two years.
"Ultimately, I believe it will be very difficult for the Premier League to prove this scale of wrongdoing, but if it does, the consequences for the club and its directors, and, of course, the fans, will be devastating."
