‘Those memories are ours and no verdict changes that’: Manchester City fans’ views
(opens the publisher’s site)Manchester City has been found guilty of 114 of 115 Premier League financial charges; the club denies wrongdoing and will appeal the verdict.
- The Premier League found Manchester City guilty of 114 of 115 charges of financial rule breaches following a 42-day independent commission hearing in 2024.
- UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham said he would be "very concerned" if the Abu Dhabi owners sold the club, prompting rival clubs to fear political interference in the appeal process.
- City chair Khaldoon al-Mubarak said in June that "these sorts of jewels, you don't sell," reiterating the owners' refusal to offload the club.
- City continues to deny all wrongdoing and will appeal to a separate independent commission, with a hearing on sanctions still pending.
- Manchester City fans gave mixed reactions to the guilty verdict, with many backing the team while others voiced anger and betrayal toward the club's owners.
- Erling Haaland urged Manchester City fans and players to stay united and positive in his first public comments after the verdict, before Sunday's trip to Liverpool.
- Head coach Enzo Maresca urged his squad to stay positive and focused as they returned to training.
- Nottingham Forest boss Oliver Glasner called for a swift resolution of the appeal, warning the case is damaging the Premier League's brand.
- Manchester City formally appealed the verdict to a three-person Appeal Board, which is expected to rule by mid-February.
- The original panel is separately determining penalties that could range from fines of up to £500 million to expulsion from the league.
