Manchester City has been found guilty of all but one of 115 Premier League charges over alleged financial rule breaches dating to 2009, according to a report from The Athletic on a hearing that began in 2024. The club, owned by Sheikh Mansour's Abu Dhabi United Group since 2008, was accused of inflating sponsorship revenue from Etihad and Etisalat and making undisclosed payments to former manager Roberto Mancini.

No sanction has been decided and City is expected to appeal; the findings themselves have not been publicly released. Possible penalties range up to a substantial points deduction or expulsion from the league, with Everton and Nottingham Forest having already been docked points for single breaches, raising questions about the fate of City's eight Premier League titles won since 2008.

The full dispatch is available from the source below.
