The club is expected to pursue an immediate appeal against the verdict. A spokesperson stated that the process remains ongoing with significant elements yet to be completed. City maintained its position is consistent with a statement issued in February 2023.

Allegations cover over a decade

The charges relate to seasons from 2009-10 through 2022-23 and include claims of failing to provide accurate financial information. The most serious allegations concern the period between 2009-10 and 2017-18 regarding revenues and operating costs.

Outcome could end club era

If confirmed, this ruling would represent one of the most significant decisions in English football history. The proceedings have raised questions about how the league enforces rules against its most successful clubs.
