Manchester City Found Guilty of 114 Financial Rules Breaches - A Huge Moment In Premier League History

The Verdict Is Only the Beginning For more than three years, the football world has waited for clarity on the charges facing Manchester City. City have been found guilty on all but one of the 115 charges brought by the Premier League, although sanctions have yet to be determined and an appeal is expected.

The Premier League rulebook allows for a wide range of sanctions, including points deductions and even expulsion from the competition. But the biggest impact of this verdict could ultimately extend far beyond Manchester City.

A Defining Moment for Football Governance For years, critics have argued that football's financial regulations lacked credibility because the biggest clubs always seemed capable of fighting, delaying or avoiding meaningful consequences.
