New Man City 115 charges verdict as Arsenal, Liverpool and Man Utd wait after Jose Mourinho quip

Manchester City will not be relegated from the if they are found guilty of breaching 115 financial regulations. that is the view of former Liverpool star Dietmar Hamann anyway.

City have been charged with 115 breaches of regulations across nine seasons from 2009/10 to 2017/18. the charges specifically relate to failure to provide accurate financial information; failure to provide accurate details for player and manager payments; failure to comply with 's rules including ; breaching Premier League's PSR rules; and failure to co-operate with Premier League investigations.

The hearing into City's 115 charges for alleged breaches of the Premier League's financial rules began last month, with a verdict on the case expected early in the new year. City strongly deny all charges and have said their case is supported by a "comprehensive body of irrefutable evidence".

Several clubs, like , Liverpool and even Manchester United, who finished second behind City in previous seasons, are watching closely to see the outcome. Former United manager : "We finished second in the Premier League [in 2018] and I think we still have a chance to win that league because maybe they punish Man City with points and maybe we win that league and then they have to pay me the bonus and give me the medal."

Potential sanctions against City have included a fine, a points deduction and even relegation from the Premier League. Hamann cannot see the latter happening though.

Speaking to , he said: "The Premier League will have no interest in making Manchester City leave the league, you have to wait and see with these court cases.

"There has to be a level playing field, the football leagues are about competition, and you need more than three or four teams to be able to win the league. I'm not sure what will happen to Manchester City if they are found guilty of the 115 charges, but the rules need to be listened to so every club can have a chance of success."
