Manchester City have been found guilty on 114 of the 115 charges, relating to alleged breaches of the Premier League’s financial regulations, marking a major development in the league’s long-running case against the club.
The charges were brought against Manchester City in February 2023 and relate to alleged financial regulation breaches covering several seasons.
An independent commission held a lengthy hearing that concluded in December 2024, with the verdict taking significantly longer than initially expected.
However, the case is not yet finished. Sanctions have not been decided, meaning the consequences for Manchester City remain to be decided. Reports show that the club is expected to appeal the findings.
Sanctions reported in connection with the case include financial penalties and sporting consequences, but no final punishment has been announced at this stage.
Manchester City have kept their position throughout the proceedings and have previously denied the allegations against them.
The club’s expected appeal could therefore extend the legal process further. The verdict stands for a significant moment in one of English football’s longest-running regulatory cases.
What do you think should happen next, and what punishment would you expect if the verdict stands?
