Manchester City maintains innocence whilst awaiting the outcome of an independent panel's findings on 114 alleged breaches of Premier League financial rules.

Manchester City maintains innocence whilst appealing against an independent panel's findings on 114 alleged breaches of Premier League financial rules between 2009 and 2018. The outcome remains pending as the appeals process continues.

Discussion around potential punishments has been widespread. Peter Schmeichel, the club's former goalkeeper, has suggested that if found guilty, City should face a points deduction, forced sale of ownership, a transfer ban and a fine, rather than relegation. He said the club's ownership is 'not fit to run a football club in England' and suggested that individuals involved should face bans from football operations.

A senior Premier League figure has warned that potential sanctions have created a 'farcical' situation, though no punishment will be decided until the appeals process concludes. A final decision is expected in early 2027.
