Man City charges: Hearing begins into 115

The independent hearing into Manchester City's alleged 115 breaches of Premier League financial regulations finally began on Monday.

ESPN previously reported the trial would begin on Monday, with the hearing dubbed by British media as the "sports trial of the century." It is expected to last for around two months. The aim is for the final verdict, including any appeal, to be completed by the end of the 2024-25 season

City, who have won the English title a record four times in a row, were referred to an independent commission in February 2023, with the various charges dating from 2009 to 2018. The club have always denied any wrongdoing.

Should City be found guilty of some or all of the charges they could face penalties or huge fines, points deductions or even relegation from the Premier League.

That would also put a huge asterisk over one of the most successful periods of any club in English history.

City have won eight Premier League titles, one Champions League, three FA Cups, six League Cups, the UEFA Super Cup and the FIFA Club World Cup since being bought by Sheikh Mansour's Abu Dhabi United Group in 2008.
