Manchester City will appeal 114 alleged breaches of Premier League financial rules, the club’s chairman said on Thursday. The club has been accused of violating the league’s regulations on spending and player wages.

In a statement, the chairman expressed confidence that the club can prove its innocence. “We are confident of success,” he said, noting that the club will present evidence to support its case.

The appeal will be lodged with the Premier League’s disciplinary panel, which will review the evidence and decide whether the club’s actions were compliant with the rules. Manchester City has faced scrutiny over its financial practices in recent years.

Premier League rules are designed to ensure a level playing field and prevent clubs from gaining an unfair advantage through excessive spending. The club’s decision to challenge the findings reflects its commitment to maintaining its reputation and competitive standing.
