Manchester City did not deny on Friday that an independent commission had found the club guilty of the majority of the 115 financial breach charges brought against it by the Premier League, according to ESPN, which cited a source familiar with the case.
The charges relate to allegations that City breached the league's financial rules over a period of several seasons, covering matters including the accuracy of financial information the club provided to the league and its cooperation with the investigation.
Verdict details not yet public
ESPN's report, attributed to a source, did not specify how many of the 115 charges were upheld, nor did it detail the reasoning behind the panel's findings or when a full written verdict might be published.
The report also did not include comment from Manchester City or the Premier League confirming the outcome, and it did not address what sanctions, if any, the club could face as a result.
The independent commission's hearing into the charges, first brought in February 2023, has been one of the most closely watched disciplinary cases in English football, with a verdict expected to have significant implications for the club and the wider league.
Further details on the scope of the ruling and any potential penalties were not included in the available report.
