City have already been investigated for their dealings from 2019 to 2023, where they were forced to pay an £8.6m fine for the findings
The club ended up appealing the charges and took the case to court where their UEFA ban was overturned and the £26.8million fine was reduced to £8.9m.
Financial Fair Play was set up by UEFA back in 2009 and has been implemented by England's top flight since the beginning of the 2011-12 season.
FFP was designed by UEFA to ensure clubs don't overspend, the aim is to make sure each club will only spend what they earn which will avoid clubs from going into dept.
Which was the case for many clubs before FFP was introduced.
The basic understanding of FFP is the break-even requirement, which means that each club must balance their income and expenditure over a three-year period.
Manchester City 115 FFP ChargesManchester City have been charged with a staggering 115 charges of breaking FFP rules during a nine year period.
The time period stretches back to 2009 all the way to 2018. The full 115 charge list was revealed in a Premier League statement in February 2023.
City allegedly face multiple breaches of FFP throughout multiple seasons, which makes the list of potential breaches longer and has resulted with the club being charged with a whopping 115 breaches of FFP regulations.
All the charges faced by Manchester City are serious and if they are proved to have broken all or some of these charges, serious repercussions should be expected.
The charges against the club will be investigated, reviewed and analysed by an independent commission.
