Man City Charges LIVE: Rivals 'Plan Legal Action After Guilty Verdict'
The club denies the allegations and is expected to appeal as rivals seek legal advice over possible compensation claims.
On Friday, The Athletic reported that an independent commission found Manchester City guilty of all but one of the 115 charges leveled by the Premier League relating to alleged financial breaches between 2009 and 2018.
The charges concern alleged financial breaches spanning a decade, with the hearing concluding 22 months ago, roughly three and a half years after the Premier League initially charged City in February 2023.
Manchester City denies all allegations and said the confidential process remains "ongoing," with "significant elements to be completed." The club is expected to appeal the verdict if confirmed.
Severe potential sanctions range from significant fines and points deductions to stripping of titles, relegation, or expulsion from the Premier League, though no final decision has been made.
Other top-flight clubs are reportedly seeking legal advice regarding potential compensation claims as the football world reacts to the seismic decision rocking the English game.
