Liverpool are patiently waiting to see whether Manchester City came out on top in their dispute with the Premier LeagueLiverpool and every other English top-flight club could be owed millions in compensation if Manchester City lose their legal battle with the Premier League. A three-man panel have been reviewing the evidence, and they're still yet to deliver a final verdict.It's said that if Man City are found guilty, Premier League clubs could be owed significant compensation.

Maguire said: "As far as Liverpool are concerned, the legal bill is the cost of doing business."They see themselves as one of the clubs who will have been significantly disadvantaged should Man City be found guilty. And although you wouldn't expect them to say any different, all the noises I am getting from Manchester are very confident."If it's going to cost Liverpool £5m but they could potentially get much more if City are found guilty… They will have effectively worked it out on an insurance basis."It might be a short-term pain, long-term gain scenario.

So once the allegations, the charge has been put forward, they go before an independent panel, which is independently selected, and they are then in charge of the process and its timings."They hear the case, they decide the outcome, and we have no influence over that, over it or its timing. I mean, I just have to wait, and legal processes rarely take less time than you anticipated, but we have to be patient."
