Summary
An independent panel has found Manchester City guilty on all but one of the 115 Premier League financial charges, though sanctions have not yet been decided.
The case stems from a four-year league investigation into alleged breaches between 2009 and 2018, including inaccurate financial reporting, undisclosed player and manager payments, PSR and Uefa rule breaches, and failures to cooperate.
City did not confirm the report, saying the process remains ongoing and confidential, but BBC Sport said the club would appeal if formally found guilty.
Other Premier League clubs have already been informed of the decision and are seeking legal advice on whether they could pursue compensation claims.
The hearing ran for about 12 weeks after opening in September 2024, capping an eight-year dispute that could now lead to penalties ranging from fines to sporting sanctions.
