Manchester City have been found guilty on all but one of their 115 charges relating to breaches of the Premier League’s financial rules, according to a report.

The Athletic says sanctions against the club have not been decided. City are expected to appeal.

The case was announced in February 2023 after the Premier League accused City of breaching financial rules following an investigation of alleged breaches between 2009 and 2018.

City have always insisted that they have acted properly throughout the process and rejected the allegations.
