10月1日，英国知名媒体talkSPORT披露，英超各大球队计划联名致函英超联盟主席理查德·马斯特斯，力主在本赛季结束前对曼城争议案件进行全面处理。
在英超联赛的官方声明中，针对曼城所面临的115起违规行为的调查结论已公布，结果显示多数指控得到了证实。英超各成员俱乐部拟向英超首席执行官理查德·马斯特斯发出一封联名信，该信件将着重指出，曼城事件必须在本赛季得到全面且彻底的解决。此外，俱乐部们还提出，任何与上诉相关的处罚措施应在本赛季内实施，并力求尽快落实。
曼城可能试图将法律纠纷拖延至无限期，这一策略引起了对手俱乐部的忧虑。预计其他俱乐部将表达对裁决的支持，并迫切要求迅速执行，以终结这场耗时已久的争议。
在曼城的上诉和任何试图推迟程序的尝试均遭挫败的情况下，其对手俱乐部将全面启动要求赔偿的行动。体育记者Ben Jacobs透露，曼联、利物浦、阿森纳以及热刺均已保留了向曼城提起诉讼并索赔的权利，这些诉讼主要针对的是由于曼城违规行为导致的欧冠资格丧失或错失可能的冠军头衔的赛季。
The potential compensation claims for each club could soar past 100 million pounds; however, if Manchester City is found guilty and loses any appeal, they would confront a far more challenging issue—the prospect of a class action lawsuit. This scenario presents two primary avenues. One possibility is that the clubs might unite and pursue individual actions concerning the compensation matter, which could culminate in a single, overall sum distributed through various means.
或许，一个更为简便的法律途径是英超联盟发起集体诉讼以寻求赔偿，随后由该联盟决定赔偿金的分配方式。那些遭遇降级的俱乐部可能会寻求赔偿，尤其是那些坚信曼城在争议赛季理应被逐出联赛的俱乐部，它们可能会提出自己的排名应当得到提升，以此争取到额外的奖金。
Moreover, certain clubs might miss out on European competitions or trophy victories as a result, making it a highly intricate legal matter. Despite the expectation that the Manchester City case might be resolved before the end of the current season, the potential for conviction and subsequent appeals could lead to protracted legal battles over compensation. It is also conceivable that European clubs might take an interest in the situation, as they could argue for some form of compensation if they were defeated by Manchester City in the Champions League during the relevant season.
