Manchester City have been charged with 115 breaches of the Premier League's financial rules, as reported by BBC Sport in February 2023. The charges cover the managerial tenures of Roberto Mancini, Manuel Pellegrini, and the first two years under Pep Guardiola. During this period, Manchester City won eight trophies, including three Premier League titles, three League Cups, one Community Shield, and one FA Cup.
The club has been found guilty of breaking the majority of the financial rule breaches, with the Premier League claiming City breached rules requiring the club to provide "accurate financial information that gives a true and fair view of the club's financial position". Manchester City will appeal against the findings, with the Premier League expected to release the punishment decided by the panel before any appeal is completed.
Everton were told they must pay Burnley £35m after they broke profit and sustainability regulations (PSR) over a three-year period, and have appealed against the ruling. The outcome of the case will have significant implications for Manchester City, with the club facing the possibility of a points deduction, large fines, or even expulsion from the Premier League.
