Manchester United, Arsenal among clubs that could claim more than £100m in compensation after Manchester City guilty verdict: Reports
- Arsenal, Manchester United, Liverpool, and Tottenham Hotspur are preparing legal action against Manchester City following reports the club will be found guilty of numerous Premier League financial rule breaches.
- At least four clubs preserved their "right to sue" under Section W of competition rules, locking in their legal standing before statute of limitations expired.
- Sources suggest successful claims could be worth more than £200m per club, following Burnley's successful £35.1m claim against Everton, which an independent commission ruled gave the Merseyside club a sporting advantage.
- Manchester City released a statement Friday re-asserting their innocence, maintaining they have respected due process for eight years; any legal action must await conclusion of the entire case and appeals process.
- Claims may encompass prospective loss of earnings and "loss of chance" in subsequent campaigns, as Manchester United and Liverpool missed multiple titles and Champions League qualification during the investigation period.
