The Athletic reported on Monday that Manchester City have been found guilty of 114 of 115 alleged breaches of the Premier League's financial regulations.
According to the report, the findings cover a wide range of alleged violations of the league's financial rules. The Athletic did not, in its piece cited by other outlets, provide a full list of the specific charges or the detailed reasoning behind the decisions.
The report did not set out what penalties, if any, the club might face or what procedural steps — such as appeals — would follow. League regulations typically allow for sanctions where clubs are found to have breached financial rules, but The Athletic did not specify whether any measures have been proposed or enacted.
The Athletic's account marks a significant development in a long-running regulatory focus on club finances in English football. Al Jazeera has not independently verified The Athletic's reporting and the Premier League and Manchester City have not been quoted in this account.
