Four Premier League heavyweights have reportedly filed legal notices to seek compensation if Manchester City are found guilty of their alleged 115 breaches of Premier League financial rules.Manchester United, Liverpool, Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur have all lodged potential compensation claims ahead of a possible statute of limitations deadline last week, as reported by The Times.It's suggested that legal advice prompted the clubs to register these potential claims now due to the 1980 Limitation Act's six-year period for legal claims for contract breaches.The Football Leaks documents, which first brought the allegations against City, were initially published by German website Der Spiegel in early November 2018.
If City are found guilty, it's expected that the clubs will claim for loss of earnings, reports the Mirror. An independent commission continues to review City's case and if they're found guilty of a number of the 115 charges, it's been suggested they could face expulsion from the Premier League.Get the latest news sent straight to your messages by joining our WhatsApp community today.You'll receive daily updates on breaking news as well as the top headlines across Scotland.No one will be able to see who is signed up and no one can send messages except the Daily Record team.All you have to do is click here if you're on mobile, select 'Join Community' and you're in!If you're on a desktop, simply scan the QR code above with your phone and click 'Join Community'.We also treat our community members to special offers, promotions, and adverts from us and our partners.
