Manchester City Reportedly Found Guilty of 114 of 115 Premier League Charges

Manchester City have reportedly been found guilty of 114 of the 115 charges brought against the club by the Premier League over alleged breaches of financial regulations.

The reports, first reported by The Athletic and The Times, come after a long-running case concerning Manchester City’s finances and its alleged failure to comply with Premier League financial rules. Reuters has also reported the 114-1 outcome, citing the reports.

However, Manchester City have said the legal process remains ongoing and have not publicly accepted the reported verdict as a concluded matter.

“The Premier League process remains ongoing, with significant elements to be completed, and subject to strict confidentiality,” a club spokesperson said.

“As such Manchester City FC’s position remains consistent with the club’s statement of February 2023.”

The club also said it had respected due process throughout the proceedings and expected the process to be conducted independently and fairly.

The charges relate to alleged financial rule breaches covering a number of seasons, as well as allegations that Manchester City failed to cooperate with the Premier League’s investigation. The club has consistently denied wrongdoing.

The Premier League announced the charges in February 2023, with the case subsequently heard by an independent commission. The hearing concluded in December 2024 after a lengthy process.

No punishment has yet been announced in connection with the reported findings. According to reports, Manchester City are expected to appeal, meaning the case could continue through another stage of the legal process.

The reported findings therefore do not yet represent the end of the dispute, with the club maintaining that the Premier League process is still ongoing.
