The hearing into Manchester City’s 115 alleged breaches of Financial Fair Play (FFP) rules will begin in September, according to The Times.
This is around two months earlier than expected.
The date has been moved forward, because of City’s separate case against the Premier League. The verdict is set to be made public in the next two weeks.
The Citizens launched legal action in June, in a bid to get rid of the Associated Party Transaction (APT) rules.
They believe the rules, which were introduced in 2021, are unlawful and discriminatory.
Once that is concluded, the hearing into the alleged 115 breaches can begin.
This hearing is expected to take around 10 weeks, pending any further legal delays.
Members of the independent commission should deliver their verdict at the start of 2025.
