- A report from The Athletic indicates that Manchester City have been found “guilty of almost all charges” concerning breaches of the Premier League's financial rules following a landmark investigation.
- The charges against the current league leaders, originally brought forward in February 2023 after a four-year investigation, encompass over 115 alleged breaches across a nine-year period between 2009 and 2018, and The Athletic report states City have been found guilty of “all but one” of the charges.
- The allegations against the club also include failing to cooperate with the Premier League's financial investigations, leading to an independent hearing that concluded in December 2024.
- Sanctions arising from the guilty verdict have not yet been decided by the independent commission, and Manchester City are expected to appeal the findings.
- In response to the developments, a Manchester City spokesperson stated that the process remains ongoing and subject to strict confidentiality, maintaining the club's long-held denial of any wrongdoing.
