Man City chairman sends defiant message after club ‘found guilty of almost all 115 charges’

  • Manchester City chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak has issued a statement to supporters maintaining the club's complete innocence following media reports claiming they will be found guilty of 114 Premier League financial charges.
  • The Premier League has been investigating Manchester City over 115 alleged financial rules breaches since 2023, though no official verdict has been announced as the confidential process remains ongoing.
  • In his letter posted on the club's official website, Al Mubarak reassured fans that the legal proceedings still have a “long way to run” and reiterated his firm confidence in clearing the club's name.
  • Addressing the constraints surrounding the case, Al Mubarak explained that strict confidentiality rules prevent him from sharing specific details regarding the defence, despite a desire to explain the club's strong position.
  • Manchester City reaffirmed that they have respected due process throughout the eight-year investigation and urged the Premier League Board and Executive to act as an impartial and independent regulator.
