MANCHESTER CITY have reportedly been found guilty of all but one of their 115 Premier League charges.
The bombshell verdict comes more than three years after the Prem charged City following a lengthy investigation into their finances.
An independent commission has found the club guilty on 114 of the 115 charges, according to The Athletic.
However, City are expected to appeal and no sanction has yet been decided.
The potential punishments available include a fine, points deduction or, at the most extreme end, expulsion from the Premier League.
City have consistently denied wrongdoing throughout the long-running case.
A club spokesperson said: “The Premier League process remains ongoing, with significant elements to be completed, and subject to strict confidentiality.
“As such Manchester City FC’s position remains consistent with the club’s statement of February 2023.
“The club has diligently respected due process for eight years on the basis the Premier League board and executive would behave as an independent, impartial and fair minded regulator, free from partisan influence.”
When the charges were first announced in February 2023, City said they were “surprised” by them and welcomed an independent commission considering what they described as a “comprehensive body of irrefutable evidence” supporting their position.
But what exactly were the 115 charges against City?
The proceedings before the Commission will, in accordance with Premier League Rule W.82, be confidential and heard in private. Under Premier League Rule W.82.2, the Commission’s final award will be published on the Premier League’s website.
