Full Breakdown of Man City’s 115 Financial Rule-break Charges As Trial Set To Begin On Monday
Manchester City’s trial into their 115 charges for allegedly breaching the Premier League’s financial rules is expected to get underway on Monday, September 16 according to ESPN.
The independent hearing is anticipated to last approximately two months, although the verdict is not expected to be made public until spring 2025 at the earliest, according to reports.
City has been accused of financial impropriety spanning nine years from 2009 and the sternest punishment if found guilty is relegation. Points deductions and fines are also potential penalties.
Reports initially implied that the trial date would be later in the year, however there was a push by both Manchester City and the Premier League to bring the trial date forward, resulting in the mid-September date.
Ahead of the unprecedented trial which is set to shake up England’s top-flight division and could potentially see the four-in-a-row Premier League champions exiled to the Championship, Mail Sport have broken down the 115 charges Pep Guardiola’s side are faced with.
Manchester City have been charged with a staggering 115 charges of breaking FFP rules during a nine year period.
The time period stretches back to 2009 all the way to 2018. The full 115 charge list was revealed in a Premier League statement in February 2023.
All the charges faced by Manchester City are serious and if they are proved to have broken all or some of these charges, serious repercussions should be expected.
The charges against the club will be investigated, reviewed and analysed by an independent commission.
