Manchester City are currently facing over 100 Financial Fair Play (FFP) charges, which allege breaches between 2009 and 2018.

If these charges are upheld, rival clubs like Arsenal, Chelsea, and Tottenham Hotspur could potentially pursue legal claims for damages, particularly if they can demonstrate that City’s financial breaches unfairly disadvantaged them in terms of titles or league positions.
Recently, City challenged the Premier League’s Associated Party Transactions (APT) rules, which regulate shareholder loans, a move that could affect Arsenal and Chelsea.
Both clubs have significant shareholder loans, and the new ruling may impose stricter scrutiny on such loans, impacting how clubs manage their finances under FFP regulations.
Tottenham, with fewer shareholder loans, is less directly affected by this change, but all clubs are closely watching the outcome as it may reshape the financial landscape of the Premier League.
The Premier League’s investigation into City continues, and any potential ruling could open the door for rival clubs to seek compensation, depending on the final verdict.
