The probability of Man City overturning the guilty verdict through an appeal, another legal route, or even UAE pressure/blackmail is as slim as a broke person becoming a billionaire by dec this year. The best they can overturn is 2 charges out of 115 breaches, leaving 113/115. My prediction is City will end up with 115/115, a modified verdict referred to the IC for sanctions, with recommendations to extend investigations into 2026. Who knows what they did? It could be worse than Haaland accepting a house in Dubai in exchange for a lengthy contract. City fans keep celebrating the word “appeal” like it means “reset.” It doesn’t. You can challenge a verdict, but you can’t Ctrl+Z the evidence nor the club image. Right now city is guilty and a certified cheat in the history of football. The Premier League keeps receipts. No shortcuts, no expiry date for sham business practices. You can sleep with your mother-in-law beneath the sea and still think nobody knows, but eventually, the truth surfaces! Money can delay the reckoning, it can’t guarantee an escape from it.
