Man City and 115 Charges: What to Know About the Controversy Engulfing the Top English Soccer Team

The ruling could trigger fines, points deductions or expulsion, and clubs may seek compensation after the commission found almost all charges proved.

  • On Friday, media outlets including the BBC reported that City has been found guilty of almost all 115 charges leveled by the Premier League for alleged financial rule breaches spanning two decades.
  • The Premier League accused the Abu Dhabi-controlled club of 80 financial breaches from 2009-18, plus 35 additional charges relating to its alleged failure to cooperate with investigators since December 2018.
  • Rule W64 permits sanctions ranging from fines to expulsion from the English Premier League. Precedent exists: Everton was ordered to pay $47 million in compensation to Burnley earlier this year.
  • City plans to lodge an appeal within 14 days, with Chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak stating the club's "confidence and intent in proving the club's innocence is just as strong as when this began."
  • Sky Sports reports the club may challenge the process in London's High Court if proceedings are deemed unfair, as the soccer world awaits the independent commission's verdict, expected to run to hundreds of pages.
