According to journalist Ben Jacobs, the giants of the English Premier League have started gearing up for potential new legal battles if Manchester City fails to win their appeal concerning financial breaches.
Sources claim that the hierarchy at Manchester United and Arsenal have sent formal letters to Manchester City reserving their rights to seek compensation for damages. Earlier reports indicated that similar steps had been taken by Liverpool and Tottenham.
City's rivals believe that violations of Premier League financial rules have denied them opportunities to win trophies and generate additional revenue. However, Manchester City vehemently denies all allegations.
The club has until Friday to submit their appeal, and they are expected to do so. However, the appeal process could stretch on for months or even years before other clubs can realistically claim damages.
