Manchester City found guilty on 114 of 115 Premier League financial charges
–
Neutral summary
An independent commission set up by the Premier League has found Manchester City guilty on 114 of 115 charges of breaching financial rules between 2009 and 2018. The verdict was reported on 25 September by The Athletic, with no official announcement from the Premier League yet. Sanctions have not been decided: reports say the club could face anything from a fine to expulsion from the league, stripping of titles and a major points deduction. City has said it will appeal, and chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak, in an open letter to fans, expressed confidence the club will prove its innocence, insisting the process is far from over. The Daily Mail reports that Arsenal, Tottenham, Liverpool and Manchester United served formal notices in late 2024 reserving their right to seek compensation of up to £800 million if City were found guilty. Lawyers warn the case could drag on for several years. Musician Noel Gallagher, a well-known City fan, said he was shocked and saddened by the verdict and urged the league not to punish the club's supporters.
