Why is Manchester City's 115-charge case taking so long?

According toSports.

Background

Manchester City is one of the prominent clubs in the English Premier League, and has achieved great successes in recent years. However, this financial issue may affect the club's future investments and ability to compete in the Premier League.

Why is this important?

The case against Manchester City is considered one of the most complex in the history of the English Premier League, as it concerns more than 100 charges related to alleged violations of financial rules. The lack of a ruling so far raises questions about the club’s future in the English Premier League, and may greatly affect the club’s reputation if the charges are proven.

A new Premier League season begins without a ruling being issued in the complex case involving financial charges against Manchester City. In February 2023, City were charged with more than 100 charges relating to alleged breaches of Premier League financial rules. A 12-week hearing into the charges, which Manchester City vehemently denies, ended in December 2024. However, the independent panel still has not made a ruling on the case, which is considered "extremely complex".

Premier League chief executive Richard Masters admitted this week that the case was taking longer than expected. "I can't give any update on timing or what's happening," Masters told Sky News before the start of the new season. "There's only one way forward, which is to let the process take its course. It's taken longer than expected, and I understand the frustrations."

Manchester City was referred to an independent panel in February 2023 after a four-year investigation. The Premier League reported that the alleged breaches occurred over a nine-year period, from 2009 to 2018, and related to the provision of accurate financial information. City were also charged with failing to comply with the Premier League's rules on profitability and sustainability, and UEFA's Financial Fair Play regulations, and it was alleged that they did not co-operate with the Premier League during its investigations.

The club responded at the time by saying: “Manchester City FC are surprised by the issuance of these alleged charges regarding Premier League rules, particularly given the extensive interaction and vast amount of detailed material that has been provided to the Premier League.”

The charges against City, believed to be between 115 and 130, mainly revolve around: 54 - failure to provide accurate and up-to-date financial information (2009-2018); 14 - Failure to submit accurate financial reports on compensation for players and coaches (2009-2018); 5 - Failure to comply with UEFA regulations, including Financial Fair Play regulations; 7 - Violation of the Premier League’s profitability and sustainability regulations (2015-2018); 35 - Failure to cooperate with Premier League investigations (2018-2023).

This case has entered the fourth season of the Premier League with the charges against Manchester City. The 12-week hearing began on September 16 and ended on December 6, 2024, and while a ruling had been expected at the beginning of 2025, the time between the start of the hearing and the ruling has been extended to nearly three years.

Last August, Masters urged patience ahead of the start of the 2025-26 season, and stressed that his organization had no control over the timings, explaining to Sky Sports: “It is an independent judiciary in its own right. They are responsible for the process and the timing of it. They hear the case, they decide the outcome, and we have no influence on that or the timing of it. My frustration is really irrelevant, I have to wait. Legal processes usually take longer than you would expect, but we have to be patient.”

Ahead of the new season, Arsenal chief executive Richard Garlick told the BBC that Premier League clubs wanted “clarity”. "This has been going on for so long, everyone - the league and the teams - wants clarity about what happens next," he said. "But it's not something I can control, and it's not something I can predict. I just hope there's a quick resolution."

In March this year, Chelsea were handed a suspended transfer ban and a £10.75m fine after reaching a settlement over breaches of Premier League rules. Chelsea admitted all 74 breaches that occurred between 2010/11 to 2015/16. In June this year, Everton were required to pay Burnley £35m in compensation after breaching profitability and sustainability rules over three years, including in the 2021-22 season in which Everton avoided relegation at Burnley's expense.

What's next?

The independent panel is expected to continue reviewing the evidence before issuing its ruling, meaning Manchester City will remain under significant pressure. If the charges are proven, the club may face harsh penalties that may include points deductions or fines, which could affect its performance in the English Premier League.
