Blackpool FC could be owed £756,756 from Manchester City following the Premier League champions' financial fair play conviction. The potential compensation relates to Blackpool's single season in the top flight during the 2010-11 campaign, which overlapped with the period of City's proven breaches.
The club denies wrongdoing and has appealed the verdict.
A total of 34 other clubs could also be in line for compensation, with any potential payouts dependent on the lengthy appeal process. Legal battles over the sums are expected to last for years.
For the current Blackpool side, any future financial boost would be welcome as they battle in League One. The team sits 18th in the table with 8 points from 8 games, having lost 1-0 to Cambridge United last time out. Their next challenge is an away trip to face Leyton Orient on 17 October.
