A bombshell in England! Manchester City found guilty of more than 100 financial irregularities
Por Carlos Rodríguez ·
Manchester City has been found guilty of more than a hundred financial irregularities—charges that have been pending since 2023—according to a report by The Athletic on Friday and other sports media outlets.
Although City had repeatedly denied the allegations, the independent commission that ruled on the case found the Manchester club guilty in virtually all (130) instances where there were suspicions, according to the same sources. No sanctions have been imposed at this time, as that decision will be made at a later stage.
He faces severe penalties from the Premier League
These penalties, outlined in the English Premier League Manual, can range from a simple warning to a deduction of points in the league standings.
Or, in the most extreme case, even expulsion from the competition.
Point deductions can even be applied retroactively, which could cost the club some of its titles, according to The Athletic.
In February 2023, the Premier League accused City of failing to provide accurate financial information or correct details of payments to coaches and players between the 2009-2010 and 2017-2018 seasons.
For failing to comply with UEFA’s Financial Fair Play rules between 2009 and 2018, and the Premier League’s rules during the 2015–2016 and 2017–2018 seasons (Filed as: Manchester City, found guilty of financial irregularities).
He fought back fiercely against the accusations from the Premier League
Likewise, for failing to cooperate with the Premier’s investigations, which took place between December 2018 and February 2023.
City denied all charges and hired some of the best sports law attorneys in the United Kingdom to try to clear its name and avoid penalties.
During the decade that the Premier League has been investigating—that is, between the 2009–2010 and 2017–2018 seasons— City won three league titles, one FA Cup, and three League Cups (Filed under: Manchester City, found guilty of financial irregularities).
