The hearing against Manchester City on 115 alleged breaches of Premier League rules is set to start next month with the outcome known early in the new year.
The independent commission had been expected to start in November but sources with knowledge of the case have said that it is now due to begin in mid-to-late September, unless there are further legal delays.
The hearing has been scheduled to last ten weeks, with the commission members expected to deliver their verdict at the start of 2025. The outcome of City’s separate legal case brought against the Premier League’s associated party transactions (APT) rules is set to be revealed in the next two weeks, which would then allow the 115 charges hearing to take place earlier. There is a belief that City have achieved some successes in the arbitration hearing.
The Premier League declined to comment. Manchester City did not respond when approached by The Times.

City are facing the threat of relegation from the Premier League if the most serious charges against them are proved. The alleged rule breaches include not providing accurate financial information for nine separate seasons, not providing full details of former manager Roberto Mancini’s pay over the four seasons he was at the club from 2009-13, and not providing full details of players’ remuneration — including that of the former midfielder Yaya Touré — over six seasons from 2010-11 to 2015-16.
 
Beyond the obvious winning the case and getting damages, I suppose a 'success' could include the arbitration agreeing with the idea that the PL had treated City worse than other clubs (and maybe in cahoots with certain other clubs). That'd be timely ahead of the upcoming hearing
