114 out of 115? Why isn’t the Man City ruling public yet?

Reports say an independent panel found 114 of Manchester City’s 115 alleged Premier League breaches proved. The written decision and any sanction remain unpublished.

The figure comes from reporting on a confidential case. BBC Sport says the panel has reached a decision; Reuters attributes the 114 figure to The Athletic’s account, based on people briefed on the case. The Premier League has declined to comment.

The allegations cover financial reporting, payments and other rules from 2009 to 2018, plus alleged non-cooperation from 2018 to 2023. City has denied wrongdoing and says the process remains ongoing and confidential.

In 2023, the Premier League said the commission’s final award would be published. As of 26 September 2026, that written award has not appeared publicly. No sanction has been announced, so the reports do not establish that titles have been stripped or that City has been relegated.

The next public facts are the commission’s award, any sanction and any appeal.
