Manchester City guilty over 2009-2018 financial rules: Tottenham and others demand payouts

The Athletic says City are guilty on 114 of 115 charges. The Daily Mail’s maths points to huge losses for clubs from 2009-2018.

Manchester City could face a conviction for breaking Premier League financial rules between 2009 and 2018, after being found guilty of 114 out of 115 charges. As RMC Sport reports, other English clubs may also sue for financial damages tied to losses during that period.

The knock-on effects could come with big sanctions, including fines, a transfer ban, points deductions with relegation risk, and even exclusion from the competition.

The article also runs through who may have lost the most money. Tottenham are flagged as the biggest hit: by missing out on the Champions League in four league seasons, with one of the qualifying spots taken by City, the Spurs would have forfeited at least £100 million (116 M€).

It puts numbers and scenarios on several other clubs too, including Manchester United, Liverpool, Arsenal, Everton, Chelsea and Sunderland, with possible compensation linked to extra titles, Champions/Europa qualification and prize money.
