Hearing into Manchester City's alleged breaches of Premier League rules

Manchester City are expected to find out the verdict following their alleged violations of the Premier League's financial regulations after a hearing was held last year.

WHAT ARE THE CHARGES AGAINST MANCHESTER CITY?

City, who have won eight Premier League titles, one Champions League, three FA Cups and six League Cups since being bought by Sheikh Mansour's Abu Dhabi United Group in 2008, were charged with 115 violations of Premier League regulations.

The charges cover a period starting from 2009 and continuing into the 2022-23 season. City have always denied any wrongdoing.

For every season from 2009-10 to 2017-18, City are alleged to have breached rules requiring clubs to provide accurate financial information to give the league a "true and fair view" of the club's revenues, including sponsorships, and operating costs.

The Premier League also contends that City were in violation of rules requiring clubs to comply with European soccer governing body UEFA's Financial Fair Play (FFP) regulations for the seasons from 2013-14 to 2017-18.

The Premier League alleged City did not cooperate with the league during the entirety of its investigation, which began in 2018, including providing documents and information.

City have also been charged with breaching the league's Profitability and Sustainability (PSR) rules in the 2015-16, 2016-17 and 2017-18 campaigns.

The Premier League further alleged that City did not fully disclose contracts detailing managerial remuneration from the 2009-10 to the 2012-13 seasons, when Roberto Mancini was in charge, and player compensation from the 2010-11 to the 2015-16 campaigns.
