Football club Manchester City has been found guilty on 114 of 115 charges of breaching English Premier League (EPL) financial rules, The Athletic reported.

According to the publication's sources, sanctions against the club have not yet been determined, various options are being considered, and an appeal from the team is expected. The club stated that the proceedings are ongoing and strictly confidential, while Manchester City's position remains unchanged: the team denies the allegations.

The investigation began in 2018, and the Premier League brought the charges in February 2023. They concerned the provision of inaccurate financial statements, incomplete disclosure of payments to managers during Roberto Mancini's tenure from 2009 to 2013, non-compliance with fair play and financial sustainability requirements in 2013–2018, as well as a refusal to cooperate with regulatory bodies.

The tournament's regulations provide for fines, points deductions, and, as an extreme measure, expulsion from the competition. Specific disciplinary actions have not yet been announced.
