MANCHESTER CITY FOUND GUILTY ON 114 FINANCIAL CHARGES AS HUGE VERDICT DROPS
Manchester City have been found guilty of breaching Premier League financial regulations on 114 of the 115 charges brought against the club, according to reports on Friday.
The long-awaited verdict follows a case that has dominated English football for years.
An independent commission examined allegations relating to City’s financial reporting and other regulatory requirements. The commission found the club guilty on almost all of the charges, with one charge reportedly not proven.
However, the story is far from finished.
Sanctions have yet to be determined, meaning the football world is now waiting to discover what punishment, if any, Manchester City will receive.
The club have consistently denied wrongdoing throughout the case and are expected to appeal the verdict.
The scale of the decision means the consequences could become one of the biggest stories in Premier League history.
City have enjoyed an extraordinary period of success over the past decade, collecting major domestic trophies and establishing themselves among Europe’s elite.
The verdict therefore opens a new chapter in the long-running dispute.
For now, City remain focused on football while their legal team prepares for the next stage.
The punishment and appeal process could determine just how significant Friday’s decision ultimately becomes.
