Manchester City have announced they have lodged an appeal against the Premier League's decision regarding financial charges. An independent commission had ruled that the club had engaged in "sham" contracts with its commercial partners from 2009/10 to 2017/18, part of a scheme to inflate revenues by £830m. On Friday, City announced their submission of a "comprehensive" appeal on Thursday, October 1.
They maintained their innocence and pledged to follow the proper procedures. In their statement, they said, "Manchester City Football Club can confirm that at 7pm on Thursday 1st October 2026 the Club lodged its comprehensive Appeal against the opinion of the Premier League Commission, in relation to the Premier League disciplinary matter."
The club firmly believed that the opinion contained significant errors related to law, principle, and fact, and that it was unreliable. The club claimed to possess an extensive body of evidence supporting its positions and promised to respect the due process, expressing that they are restricted in their comments until the proceedings are concluded.
