The defending Premier League winners, City, are accused of breaking the rules by withholding correct financial information for nine years, from 2009 to 2018. They are facing 115 counts under the Premier League regulations.
The team won the Premier League three times in the time frame.
The allegations concern revenue-related financial data, specifics on manager and player compensation, compliance with Premier League investigations, profitability and sustainability, and UEFA laws.
The club will appear at an undisclosed location for an impartial hearing, against which it has contested all of the charges.
The study may take up to two months, and a decision is anticipated in the first part of 2025.
If proven guilty, City might lose points or possibly risk being kicked out of the Premier League.
Due to their violations of the Premier League’s profit and sustainability regulations, Nottingham Forest and Everton each received two point deductions during the previous season.
Allegations have been made against City for violating regulations mandating the submission of precise financial data.
One of the allegations against them in the second batch is that they failed to reveal all of the money paid to one of their managers for the seasons 2009–10 through 2012–13 combined.
Roberto Mancini was the team manager from December 2009 until May 2013.
The final portion addresses purported violations of Premier League regulations between 2013–14 and 2017–18 that mandate clubs adhere to UEFA Financial Fair Play standards.
