Fri, 25 Sep 2026 Clubs seek legal advice over Man City charges compensation

Premier League clubs are seeking legal advice as to whether they would have a compensation claim over the Manchester City 115 charges case.

* Manchester City has been found guilty of 114 out of 115 breaches of financial rules by the Premier League.
* The club could face sanctions, including a points deduction, expulsion from the Premier League, or a huge fine.
* Manchester City will appeal against the decision.
* Other Premier League clubs are seeking legal advice about compensation for any losses they may have incurred due to Manchester City's actions.
* A separate case between City and the Premier League was heard last year, in which an independent arbitration panel found against aspects of the league's Associated Party Transaction regulations (APTs).
* The charges cover the managerial tenures of Roberto Mancini and Manuel Pellegrini, as well as the first two years under Pep Guardiola.
* Manchester City deny wrongdoing but being found guilty on the most serious charges means they could be looking at a points deduction or expulsion from the Premier League.
