Manchester City found guilty of 114 charges relating to financial breaches
Manchester City has been found guilty on 114 charges out of 115 relating to breaches of the Premier League’s financial regulations.
The Athletic reported the guilty verdicts with no sanctions decided as City prepare to appeal.
City was first charged with the offences on February 6, 2023 and the club at the time said it was “surprised” and welcomed a review into the matter by an independent commission.
The club reiterated that stance in a statement to The Athletic on Friday.
“The Premier League process remains ongoing, with significant elements to be completed, and subject to strict confidentiality. As such Manchester City FC’s position remains consistent with the club’s statement of February 2023,” a City spokesperson said.
