The figure is staggering. According to information revealed by The Athletic and picked up by several international media outlets, Manchester City has reportedly been found guilty of 114 of the 115 breaches examined by an independent Premier League commission.
A case dating back several years
The affair dates back to February 2023, when the Premier League accused the club of breaching its rules over a period running mainly from 2009 to 2018. The complaints concern several aspects of the club's operations:
- The disclosure of financial information
- Player and coach remuneration
- Profitability and sustainability rules
- Cooperation with the investigation
No sanction decided so far
For now, no sanction has been decided. All options remain open, and Manchester City is expected to appeal. The club is also maintaining its 2023 stance and disputing the accusations. For its part, the Premier League has not commented on the case, recalling the confidential nature of the proceedings.
What consequences for the club?
The heaviest question now remains: what consequences for Manchester City? Points deductions, financial penalties or other sporting measures are mentioned in the press, but nothing has yet been decided.
After nearly four years of proceedings, the case is now entering its most explosive phase.
