Man City Guilty of Financial Breaches

Manchester City has been found guilty of systematically breaking Premier League financial rules over nearly a decade, with potential sanctions including fines, points deduction, or even expulsion.

Manchester City faces an uncertain future after an independent disciplinary commission found the club guilty of systematically breaking Premier League financial rules for nearly a decade. The Abu Dhabi-owned club has rejected the verdict and plans to appeal, promising to be "relentless" in clearing its name.

The club's punishment will be addressed in a separate confidential hearing where sanctions could range from fines and points deduction to expulsion from the Premier League. If expelled, City could apply for membership in the English Football League's lower divisions. The biggest previous points deduction in Premier League history was 10 points handed to Everton in 2023 for overspending. newssport.cv
