Manchester City have been found guilty of 114 out of 115 charges concerning breaches of the Premier League’s financial regulations, according to reports from the Daily Mail.
The allegations against the reigning champions focused on failing to provide accurate financial information across nine consecutive seasons from 2009–10 to 2017–18.
An independent panel hearing concluded its secret proceedings in 2024 following an exhaustive multi-year investigation by top-flight authorities.
The historic verdict comes after a long, tense waiting period dominated by widespread rumors that club officials had already been notified.
The club now faces potential landmark sanctions, which could range from massive financial fines and severe points deductions to total expulsion from the Premier League.
Reports indicate that any points deductions could be applied retroactively to previous campaigns, putting several of Manchester City’s past league titles at risk of being stripped.
Manchester City are fully expected to mount a formal legal appeal against the verdict and any impending punishments handed down by the commission.
The high-stakes legal battle is set to continue as the club prepares to contest the landmark ruling in a final bid to protect its modern legacy.
