10月1日，英国媒体talkSPORT透露，英超联盟各支俱乐部拟向首席执行官理查德·马斯特斯发出信函，迫切要求本赛季内彻底解决曼城涉嫌违规一案。
在英超官方发布的对曼城提出的115起违规行为的调查结论中，多数指控被证实有效。英超各成员俱乐部拟向英超首席执行官理查德·马斯特斯发出信函，着重指出曼城事件必须在当前赛季内得到根本性的处理。此外，他们强烈要求，所有与上诉相关的处罚措施必须在赛季期间实施，并且应尽可能迅速执行。
对手俱乐部对曼城试图将法律诉讼拖入持久战的策略表示忧虑。预计他们将表达对判决的支持，并迫切要求迅速执行，以终结这起拖延已久的争议。
在曼城的上诉和任何旨在延迟程序的尝试均遭挫败的情况下，其对手俱乐部将启动对曼城索赔的全面攻势。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对曼城提起诉讼以追讨赔偿的权利，这些诉讼主要针对因曼城违规行为而导致的欧冠资格丧失或错失的潜在冠军头衔。
The potential compensation for each club could exceed 100 million pounds, yet if Manchester City is found guilty and its appeal is unsuccessful, they will confront a more daunting challenge—the prospect of a class action lawsuit. This scenario presents two primary avenues. One involves the individual clubs banding together to initiate separate actions concerning the compensation issue, with the ultimate outcome possibly resulting in a single total sum, to be distributed across various means.
或许，一个更为直接的司法途径是英超联盟发起集体诉讼，并随后决定赔偿金的分配方式。那些面临降级的俱乐部或许会寻求赔偿，而那些坚信曼城在争议赛季应当被剔除出联赛的俱乐部，可能会提出自己的排名应当上调，以此争取到额外的奖金奖励。
Furthermore, certain teams might miss out on the chance to compete in European competitions or claim trophies as a result, rendering this a deeply intricate legal issue. Despite the likelihood of the Manchester City case being resolved before the end of the current season, the potential for conviction and subsequent appeals could lead to protracted legal battles over compensation. There is also the possibility that European clubs may take an interest in the matter, especially if they lost to Manchester City in the Champions League during the implicated season, and may argue for some form of recompense themselves.
