"It is thought there may be as many as 134 separate charges leveled against City, with the Premier League attempting to leave as little space as possible for the club to wriggle out through gaps in the league rules. The accusations include inflating the value of sponsorship deals with the owners' other companies and secret payments to players and managers that, had they been properly' accounted for, would have left the club in contravention of those rules."
"It's been three years since the Premier League first announced that they were referring Manchester City to a commission for alleged breaches of the division's financial rules over a nine-season period, which was later extended through to the end of the 2022/23 season. And it is now 14 months since the commission led a hearing into the charges in London, with legal representatives for both the Premier League and Manchester City gathering to make their case in front of a three-person panel."
The Premier League referred Manchester City to an independent commission for alleged breaches of financial rules spanning nine seasons, later extended through 2022/23. A commission hearing took place in London 14 months ago where legal teams presented to a three-person panel, yet no decision or penalties have been announced. The league alleges up to 134 charges, including inflated sponsorship valuations with owners' companies, undisclosed payments to players and managers, and obstruction of the investigation. Manchester City deny all allegations. Interest among rival clubs has waned over time, partly due to the seven-year duration and turnover of key chairmen.
