How much compensation Arsenal could claim as Manchester City set for guilty verdicts

Arsenal and other Premier League clubs are now mobilising lawyers and legal teams as they look to make the most out of Man City’s upcoming guilty verdicts.

David Ornstein’s exclusive that City are reportedly set to be found guilty on almost all charges of the 115 brought against them has sent shockwaves through football.

City will likely appeal any official verdicts but there are also wheels being put in motion from Arsenal and other clubs as to where they stand.

Indeed, it appears that whatever happens, the Gunners and others could be in line for some huge compensation.

Arsenal could land up to £100m if they take action against Man City

Financial benefits are one of the big tickets most clubs will be looking to get out of this situation.

Yes, other clubs may seek to have titles handed to them and cup finals reversed, but in the end, football still revolves around money.

According to The Times, Arsenal could be among a group of clubs who sue City for around £100m when all is said and done.

With the charges taking place over an eight year period and City winning multiple titles and other trophies in that time, Premier League sides will be putting cases together for loss of earnings.

As we know, money in English football is at an all-time high right now and for a club like Arsenal or Liverpool, for example, missing out on Champions League football during one of those seasons will have had big financial ramifications.

City are going to get the book thrown at them it seems here.

And in the end, it might end up setting Arsenal up for a period of dominance that even City couldn’t match.
