Manchester City vs the Premier League: The 115 Charges

A long-arc timeline of the Premier League's financial-rules case against Manchester City, running from the 2008 Abu Dhabi takeover and the club's rise under Sheikh Mansour, through the first UEFA investigation and the 2020 CAS appeal that overturned a European ban, to the Premier League's February 2023 referral of more than 100 alleged breaches covering the 2009-2018 seasons. It tracks the years of disclosure fights, the closed-door hearings that began in late 2024, the parallel PSR cases and appeal structures, and the waiting game among rivals, sponsors and broadcasters for a verdict that could mean anything from a fine to relegation. Mourinho's quip is only the latest marker of how long this process has already outlasted managers, owners and news cycles.
