Manchester City have been found guilty of a majority of more than 100 financial rule breaches, following an investigation spanning 14 seasons in which the club won the Premier League seven times. The club faces possible sanctions including heavy fines, points deductions or expulsion from the Premier League, and is likely to appeal. In February 2023 City faced 115 charges, including failing to provide accurate financial information, failing to give accurate details for player and manager payments, failing to comply with UEFA and Premier League financial rules, and failing to cooperate with the Premier League investigation. The case traces back to Sheikh Mansour's 2008 takeover, a 2014 UEFA sanction, leaked emails published by Der Spiegel in 2016, and the Football Leaks hacking by Rui Pinto. City denied wrongdoing and said the Premier League process remains ongoing; reaction included shock from a former chairman and comments from fans and a former player. A sanctions ruling is still to come, and rival clubs may seek compensation.
