According to the Premier League rulebook, the appeal process has a stricter time frame, whereby any party who wishes to appeal a decision by a judicial panel must do so by email within 14 days of a decision being announced. Under rule W.86 any hearing should conclude no longer than 12 weeks after the first appeal is submitted. Any decision by the appeal board must also be published, alongside full written reasons, within 30 days of the conclusion of the hearing. Should City fail in their appeal, the judicial panel would then be expected to produce its verdict on the level of sanction applied to the club . Premier League rule W.64 describes the list of punishments available to a panel. Alongside levying a fine, any disciplinary committee could first suspend a club from competition, or levy a points deduction, or in the most extreme circumstances expel a club from competition altogether.   submitted by   /u/5Yonko5 [link]   [comments]
