Manchester City Face Hearing for Alleged Premier League Financial Rule Breaches
Manchester City’s hearing for alleged breaches of Premier League financial rules is set to begin on Monday. The club faces 115 charges, mostly related to financial information and player payments between 2009 and 2018.
The hearing will be conducted by an independent panel, and a verdict is expected by the end of 2024 or early 2025. The charges against Manchester City include:
- Failure to provide accurate financial information (54 counts)
- Failure to provide accurate details for player and manager payments (14 counts)
- Failure to comply with UEFA rules on Financial Fair Play (5 counts)
- Breaches of Premier League Profit and Sustainability Rules (7 counts)
- Failure to co-operate with Premier League investigations (35 counts)
The potential penalties for Manchester City include:
- Points deduction
- Hefty fine
- Expulsion from the Premier League (although considered unlikely)
- Relegation
The hearing is expected to last around two months, with both the Premier League and Manchester City presenting their cases. The independent panel will then review the evidence and make a decision, which can be appealed by either party.
