Revealed: Furious Premier League clubs set to trigger £800MILLION lawsuits against Man City after seismic 115 charges verdict - as lawyers prepare for case to drag on for another TWO YEARS

The Premier League's seismic victory over Manchester City will trigger a series of legal claims for as much as £800m – although the case itself may rumble on for another TWO YEARS, Daily Mail Sport understands.

On Friday, this newspaper reported how City had been found guilty of the ‘vast majority’ of the competition’s 115 charges against them for financial doping. It can now be disclosed that the Premier League has succeeded in proving all of the substantive claims.

On Saturday, the club hit back in the shape of a strong statement from chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak, who declared that they remain confident of clearing their name and ‘proving the club’s innocence’, - with an appeal seen as inevitable. In a letter to fans, he added: ‘we have faced challenges before and prevailed’.

Despite City’s stance, and while an official verdict remains unannounced, a quartet of rivals are understood to be already preparing their own legal cases.

In late 2024, Arsenal, Tottenham, Liverpool and Manchester United served formal notices reserving their right to take action in the event that City – who could now face expulsion from the top flight - be found guilty.

Representatives have already begun putting together a case on how much they feel they have a claim for, pointing out that they have lost potential income on the back of City’s cheating.
