REEL · ENTRY OF 188 · ARCHIVE OF RECORD

GUILTY on 114 of the 115 charges — per tonight's reporting. And the punishment hasn't even been decided yet.

THE DESK — NOTES & REMARKS

Rush post on verdict night. Copy precision: '114 of 115, per reporting' — never 'all 115'. No sanction stated or predicted.

THE LOWDOWN — THE FULL HISTORY

THE VERDICT

Manchester City have been found guilty on 114 of the 115 Premier League charges, per reporting from The Athletic on 25 September 2026. Sanctions have NOT been decided. City deny all charges and are expected to appeal.

THE ROAD HERE

A 2018 leak became a four-year Premier League investigation. The charges were announced on 6 February 2023. Then came a secret twelve-week hearing, and two years of silence before the ruling.

THE CHARGE SHEET

54 on financial information, 14 on manager pay, 5 on UEFA rules, 7 on profitability and sustainability, 35 on non-cooperation.

THE PRECEDENTS

In 2023–24, Everton were docked 10 points (reduced to 6 on appeal) and Nottingham Forest 4, each for a single PSR breach. Juventus were relegated in 2006. In July 2020, City beat UEFA at CAS.

WHAT HAPPENS NEXT

The rulebook allows anything from a fine to expulsion. Nothing here predicts the sanction. When it lands, the film on it will be here.
