The 115 Charges: Are We Finally About to Get a Verdict?
Alright Blues, it’s that time again — the dreaded international break. No Premier League drama, no Haaland hat-tricks, no Phil Foden magic. Just endless talk about one thing and one thing only: those 115 charges.
Yep. The topic that just won’t go away. But this time, there might actually be something new to talk about.
A Decision Could Be Coming Soon
According to reports, senior Premier League figures are expecting a decision on City’s 115 charges this month. After all this waiting, we could finally be about to hear something official.
For context — the hearing kicked off back in September 2024 and ran for twelve weeks. Since then? Total silence. No leaks, no hints, nothing. Just months of mystery.
What the Charges Are About
The case covers alleged financial rule breaches between 2009 and 2018 — basically, from the early Abu Dhabi United Group days right through to 2018.
City have been completely firm throughout this saga: they deny every single allegation.
To break it down, there are 54 counts of “failing to provide accurate financial information” between 2009–10 and 2017–18. On top of that, there are claims about not fully disclosing player and manager payments, plus other issues tied to UEFA’s Financial Fair Play and the Premier League’s Profit and Sustainability rules.
It’s a long list — which explains why this case has taken forever. We’re talking thousands of pages of documents, endless legal back-and-forth, and months of preparation. But The Independent now says the wait might finally be over.
The Noise Never Stops
Of course, as soon as anyone mentions “City charges,” the same old crowd pops up online — acting like they’ve got a law degree and insider info straight from the Premier League boardroom. Spoiler alert: they don’t.
We’ve seen this movie before, haven’t we?
Even Premier League CEO Richard Masters has been pressed on the topic, but he’s keeping quiet — which is exactly what you’d expect. Everything’s behind closed doors until the verdict is ready.
City’s Response Has Never Wavered
When the charges were first announced in 2023, City came out strong. Their statement said they were “surprised by the charges” but “welcomed the review by an independent commission.”
And then came this absolute gem of a line:
“The club possesses a comprehensive body of irrefutable evidence to prove its innocence. As such we look forward to this matter being put to rest once and for all.”
That’s vintage City — confident, clear, and ready to fight their corner.
The Calm Before the Verdict
So here we are again. Another international break. No football, no goals, just everyone filling the silence by taking shots at City. It happens every single time.
Meanwhile, we’ll be sitting back watching the social media detectives do their thing — trying to solve this legal saga like it’s an episode of Line of Duty.
The truth is, until the verdict lands, it’s all just noise. Speculation, hot takes, and endless debate.
When the facts come out, we’ll know. And when that happens, you already know we’ll be right here breaking it all down, Blue Moon style.
So for now — let’s take a breath, enjoy the break, and remember: they can talk all they want, but they still can’t stop this City machine.
