Manchester City found guilty on almost all Premier League charges relating to financial breaches

Manchester City has been found guilty on nearly all 115 charges related to violations of the Premier League's financial regulations, according to sources briefed on the matter. The sanctions have not yet been determined, and the club is expected to appeal the findings. City have been found guilty on all but one of the charges, as confirmed by a club spokesperson who stated that the ongoing Premier League process respects confidentiality.

The club has consistently maintained that it has adhered to due process and welcomed an independent review of the evidence. The investigation began in 2018 following the publication of leaked financial documents by German newspaper Der Spiegel, which accused City of failing to provide accurate financial information, including payments to players and coaches, as well as breaches of UEFA's financial fair play (FFP) regulations and the league's own profitability and sustainability rules (PSR).

Despite winning multiple titles under Sheikh Mansour's ownership since the charges were brought, City has consistently denied the allegations. In 2020, UEFA imposed a two-year ban and a £26.8 million fine on the club, which was later overturned by the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS). The club was found guilty of not cooperating with UEFA, leading to an £8.8 million fine.

The Premier League and its chief executive have been criticized for the lengthy process and the potential impact on City's titles, with sanctions ranging from fines and points deductions to expulsion from the league.
