Manchester City Chair Reaffirms Club's Innocence in Premier League 115 Charges

Manchester City's Chairman, Khaldoon Al Mubarak, has reaffirmed the club's innocence in relation to the 115 charges of alleged breaches of Premier League financial regulations (FFP). The ongoing legal process, as stated in an official club statement issued on September 27, 2026, by Antara, has not altered the club's conviction that it is innocent.

Al Mubarak highlighted that the club's unwavering belief in its innocence is as strong as it was when the matter began. However, due to strict confidentiality requirements, he cannot provide further details about the reasons behind this firm belief at this time. The club had undergone legal reviews prior to the release of the statement to ensure full compliance with all applicable regulations.

Al Mubarak reiterated that the club respects all legal procedures and trusts the Premier League Board and executive team to act as impartial and fair regulators. The club remains consistent with its stance from February 2023, stating that the process is ongoing and subject to strict confidentiality requirements. For eight years, Manchester City has consistently adhered to the applicable procedures, confident in the fairness of the regulatory process.
