Reports say Manchester City found guilty on 114 charges

Reports say an independent panel found Manchester City guilty on 114 of 115 Premier League financial-rule charges covering 2009 to 2018, but the league has not publicly confirmed the finding and no sanction has been announced. The club maintains its innocence, and the process remains unresolved, with an appeal expected if a penalty is imposed. The reported finding has been described by multiple accounts, but none of the supplied reports includes a published panel decision. A soccer source speaking anonymously confirmed the accounts to Reuters, while other reports cited media coverage. The Premier League has made no public statement on the result. A Manchester City spokesperson said the process is ongoing, subject to strict confidentiality, and that the club’s position remains consistent with its February 2023 statement. The charges concern alleged breaches over nine seasons, from 2009 through 2018. The reports describe the panel’s finding as guilty on all but one of the 115 charges. The allegations prompted a four-year investigation before charges were announced in February 2023, according to one account. City has denied wrongdoing since the charges were brought.
