How drawn-out saga of Manchester City’s alleged cheating came to this
(opens the publisher’s site)Reports say an independent commission has found Manchester City guilty of most of the Premier League's financial rule-breaking charges, with the club expected to appeal.
- The commission, which heard the case from September to December 2024, reportedly found City breached financial rules covering the 2009-10 to 2022-23 seasons.
- City denied wrongdoing, saying the process "remains ongoing" and is subject to strict confidentiality.
- City is expected to appeal; Premier League rules give the club 14 days from the verdict's announcement to do so.
- The Premier League declined to comment on the still-unconfirmed finding.
- The commission reportedly found City guilty on all but one of the 115 charges brought by the Premier League.
- Manager Enzo Maresca responded to the guilty verdict by posting a Socrates quote on Instagram.
- Former chairman David Bernstein said financial punishment alone would be insufficient for the breaches.
- Culture secretary Lisa Nandy described the case as unsettling for the club's football fans.
- BBC Sport reports little appetite in the Premier League, its organisation and clubs, to strip Manchester City of eight trophies won between 2009 and 2018
- Manchester City chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak expressed full confidence in the club's legal position over the 115 Premier League charges.
- Khaldoon Al Mubarak told fans the club has respected the proceedings for eight years and expects a neutral, fair independent review.
- In a Saturday letter to fans, Al Mubarak said the process still has a long way to go and urged them to read the club's statements.
