TLDR
The Athletic reported on September 25, 2026, citing anonymous sources briefed on the matter, that Manchester City had been found guilty on all but one of 115 Premier League financial charges. It said sanctions were undecided and City were expected to appeal.
The outlet describes possible penalties under league rule W.51 ranging from a reprimand and fines to points deductions or expulsion. It says deductions could apply retrospectively, raising the possibility of City losing titles.
In a September 26 statement shared by Fabrizio Romano, City chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak reaffirmed the club’s confidence in proving its innocence and said the process still had “a long way to run.” He said legal confidentiality prevented him from explaining that confidence in detail.
