Man City found guilty of 114 Premier League charges
The Athletic reported that no sanction has yet been decided and that the club is set to appeal the verdict.
Manchester City have been found guilty of 114 Premier League charges related to financial regulation breaches, according to the Athletic report on Friday. The club is set to appeal the outcome of the independent hearing that began over two years ago. The allegations against City, which span from 2009 to 2018, accuse the club of providing inaccurate financial information and details of payments to players and coaches, as well as breaching financial sustainability rules.
The investigation was sparked by leaked documents published by Der Spiegel, which purportedly showed City inflating sponsorship revenue and making off-the-books payments. If found guilty, sanctions could include a significant points deduction and potential expulsion from the Premier League. This could have major implications for City's star players, including striker Erling Haaland, and potentially lead to the stripping of titles and compensation claims from other clubs.
