Four Premier League clubs could claim more than £100m over Man City 115 charges case

Four of Manchester City's biggest rivals could sue the club for a massive amount if they are found guilty in the 115 charges case.

Back in February 2023, the Premier League accused the Manchester City of breaching Financial Fair Play rules at least 115 times.

The club strongly deny all the charges, which has led to a lengthy legal investigation, with a verdict yet to be delivered.

However, it is widely expected that a verdict on the case will arrive before the start of the 2026/27 season, with the decision potentially deciding Manchester City's future.

If they are found to be guilty, City could face severe punishments ranging from point deductions, heavy fines or even transfer bans.

And now, it has been revealed that four of City's rivals could each claim more than £100million in compensation if the club are found guilty of serious charges among 115 alleged breaches of the Premier League's rules.

As per The Times, Arsenal, Liverpool, Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur all served legal notices on City in 2024 giving them the right to see financial compensation if they are found guilty.

Although it was not initially known how successful any attempt to earn compensation would be, it now appears likely that at least some of the clubs would have some success after Burnley were recently successful in suing Everton for PSR breaches.

Burnley claimed that had the six point deduction that Everton were handed for breaching PSR during the 2021/22 season been given to them that season then the Toffees would have been relegated and Burnley would have remained in the Premier League.

Everton have since confirmed that they are appealing the verdict, writing that they were 'surprised and angered' by the 'fundamentally flawed' decision.

In a similar vein, some of the clubs considering action against City have reportedly calculated potential losses of significantly more than £100million due to them missing out on the Champions League amid other losses.

What are Manchester City accused of in the 115 charges?

City are accused of not providing accurate financial information across nine separate seasons, not providing all of the details of Roberto Mancini’s pay during the four seasons he managed the club (2009-2013) and not providing the full details of players’ remuneration over six seasons from 2010-11 to 2015-16.

The club are also accused of failing to co-operate with an investigation by not handing over documents as required from 2018-19 to 2022-23.
