Manchester City has been found guilty of 114 out of 115 charges relating to breaches of the Premier League's financial regulations, according to The Athletic's David Ornstein. The ruling follows an investigation into alleged financial misconduct between 2009 and 2018, sparked by leaked documents from Der Spiegel. The Premier League accused the club of providing inaccurate financial information, hiding payments to players and coaches, and violating UEFA's Financial Fair Play regulations and the league's own Profitability and Sustainability rules.
While sanctions have yet to be decided, potential punishments range from fines to points deductions or even expulsion from the league. Manchester City could see its current or future standings affected, though historical titles are not expected to be stripped. The club has consistently denied the allegations and is expected to appeal the decision.
