First issued in February 2023, the long-awaited decision has frustrated many. Legal expert Stefan Borson says there is “no real excuse for a further delay.”
The club remains confident it will avoid harsh sanctions, having maintained its innocence.
Borson told talkSPORT: "It's very very simple. They have not had the decision of the panel as of yet. I do think now there's no real excuse for a further delay.
“Even if they were busy on other matters, and they would have been, then I think it would be really quite extraordinary that there's been no timetable set with them and no arrangement set with them in terms of the payment of their time over these last ten months to produce the decision.
"I think on any basis ten months is enough to produce even a very very detailed 400 or 500 page decision on this case, and I think it is imminent.
“I know I have said that before multiple times in this room but I did think that there was a very good chance that it would have come out for this international window. I think there's a very good chance it will come out in the next international window and I really can't see it going into 2026. I just cannot see it extending beyond the year. I think it is almost out."
