Manchester City have been found guilty on 114 charges — but could they still effectively get away with it?In this video, we explain why the Man City charges may be far from over, how an appeal could work, and why the eventual punishment could have huge consequences for the Premier League and the future of football.We look back at Manchester City’s successful appeal against their 2020 UEFA Champions League ban at the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS), before breaking down City’s latest fightback, the Etihad sponsorship dispute and the potential timeline for an appeal.We also examine the political pressure surrounding the case, including the UAE’s relationship with the UK, Abu Dhabi’s investment in Manchester and Andy Burnham’s comments — before asking whether any of this should have a place in football justice.But there’s another way Manchester City could “get away with it”.What happens if City are punished… but the punishment is ultimately smaller than the advantage they gained?And with Newcastle United now under Saudi Arabian ownership, what precedent could this set for other state-backed clubs? If breaking the rules can still leave a club better off in the long run, where is the deterrent?We explain the Man City charges, the appeal, the potential punishment and why the outcome could change English football for years to come.Subscribe to The Rabona for more football deep dives, explainers and stories from across the Premier League and world football.
