"Manchester City have been accused by the Premier League of violating financial rules over a long period, including failing to provide accurate financial information and allegedly not co-operating fully with investigations, resulting in a total of more than 115 charges. These relate to multiple seasons between 2009 and 2018 and cover areas such as reporting of revenue and compliance with financial regulations."
"If City were to be found guilty of the most serious charges, financial experts have suggested that the most likely punishment, beyond fines, would be a significant points deduction, potentially large enough to plunge the club into relegation territory. Reports have mentioned figures like a 60 to 100 point deduction as part of broader penalties designed to act as a deterrent."
Manchester City has been accused of violating Premier League financial rules over multiple seasons, including failing to provide accurate financial information and allegedly not cooperating fully with investigations. The charges, totaling over 115, relate to periods between 2009 and 2018 and cover revenue reporting and financial regulation compliance. The dispute originated from football leaks revelations and subsequent investigations by UEFA and the Premier League. An independent commission held hearings in late 2024, with a verdict expected imminently. While City denies wrongdoing and expresses confidence in exoneration, legal experts warn the stakes are enormous given the case's duration and charge volume. If found guilty of serious charges, potential punishments beyond fines could include significant points deductions, potentially ranging from 60 to 100 points, severe enough to place the club in relegation territory.
