According to the Daily Mail, despite Manchester City being found to have breached most of the charges, the appeals process is expected to take considerable time legally.

Legal experts reportedly believe that Manchester City could still win the Premier League title this season despite being found guilty on 114 charges. Statements from City officials suggest that the club is likely to lodge an appeal, which could potentially take the case to the High Court.

One of the charges against Manchester City remains unproven, which is among the most serious and could strengthen the club's resolve to appeal. Experts say that grounds for a successful appeal are very limited, and any appeal must be heard by a newly constituted independent commission.

However, if the appeal fails, Manchester City can apply to the High Court for judicial review of the commission's findings. To do this, they would need to prove that the Premier League acted outside its jurisdiction or that the conclusions reached are ones that no reasonable body could have made.

If Manchester City's legal team can prove either of these points, the decision could be overturned. However, Manchester City requires permission from the High Court to pursue judicial review, and the threshold for obtaining such permission is extremely high.

It remains unclear how much of the independent commission's findings will be made public, as most arbitration proceedings are subject to strict confidentiality. Although Manchester City and the Premier League may have waived some confidentiality rights, only a summary or edited version of the ruling will likely be released.

Due to potential legal delays, if Manchester City can maintain their strong start to the season, Premier League executives may have to watch them lift the title trophy at the Etihad Stadium next spring. Currently, Manchester City leads the league table by three points. Chris Partington, a lawyer at Brandsmiths, stated: "The ultimate outcome of this case, particularly regarding sanctions, could still take considerable time to be resolved."

The independent commission's findings could heighten tensions between England and the United Arab Emirates, whose sovereign wealth funds have been involved in the development of Manchester during Andy Burnham's tenure as Mayor of Greater Manchester.
