Manchester City Found Guilty of 114 Premier League Financial Charges

Manchester City have reportedly been found guilty of 114 of the 115 charges brought against them by the Premier League over alleged breaches of its financial regulations. According to a report by The Athletic on Friday, September 25, 2026, an independent commission has reached a verdict in the long-running case, although the sanctions to be imposed on the club have yet to be determined.

The charges, initially announced in February 2023, relate to alleged financial breaches between 2009 and 2018. They include claims of providing inaccurate financial information, failing to disclose full details of player and manager remuneration, and breaching financial regulations.

The club was also accused of failing to cooperate fully with the Premier League’s investigation. Manchester City have consistently denied wrongdoing and maintained their position throughout the proceedings. With the reported verdict now emerging, possible sanctions include a financial fine, a points deduction or expulsion from the Premier League. However, no punishment has been formally announced.

Manchester City are also expected to appeal the decision, a move that could prolong the process before the case reaches a final conclusion. The case has attracted significant attention across English football, given its potential implications for the club and the Premier League.

Note: The verdict is based on media reports citing sources familiar with the proceedings. The independent commission’s formal ruling and the details of any sanctions have not yet been publicly confirmed.
