Manchester City have reportedly been found in breach of 114 of 115 Premier League financial-rule charges concerning alleged conduct from 2009 to 2018. The club has consistently denied wrongdoing and is expected to appeal, but neither City nor the Premier League has officially confirmed the reported ruling. Sanctions have not been decided; possible penalties include fines, points deductions that could affect past titles, or expulsion from the league.
