Manchester City are still waiting to hear the ruling of their 115 charges case against the Premier League, despite claims the club would have an answer earlier this year
Manchester City star Erling Haaland insists he has full faith in the club as they wait to hear the verdict into the 115 charges against them by Premier League linked to allegations of breaching financial regulations.
City are still waiting for a verdict over whether they have been found guilty of financial wrongdoing following a trial last December. And it could still be months before they are given an answer by top-flight chiefs following another delay.
The charges are alleged to be related to financial breaches between 2009 and 2018, with City first charged by the Premier League all the way back in February 2023.
There has been speculation over the type of punishments City could face if found guilty, with some suggesting a huge points penalty or even relegation maybe in order, though the club would likely launch an appeal in any event.
But the uncertainty hanging over City’s head hasn’t stopped them spending heavily in the transfer market this summer, with the club splashing out around £150million on new signings.

And in a new interview, Haaland said he was not concerned about the situation after speaking with the club’s higher-ups, saying he “believes” they have done nothing wrong.
“I spoke with the bosses, and in the end, I believe them,” the striker told Time Magazine. “It’s such a tricky situation for me to even sit there and speak about, because I wasn’t really involved in it. So I think the club knows what they’re doing. They will sort it out.”
It comes amid frustration over the lengthy nature of the case and its delayed conclusion, despite initial reports that a verdict could be reached at the start of this year.
Premier League chief Richard Masters refused to comment on the situation when asked by a reporter but apologised for not being able to speak about the case, which is now two-and-a-half years down the line.
“You can ask, but our rules are very clear,” he said. “It’s a confidential process so I really can’t give any information out on timing or anything like that. There is nothing more I can add, so I am sorry about that.”
There has been reports that a verdict could be announced in October, most likely in the middle of the international break.
