Al Mubarak reassures City fans amid the financial storm

Saturday 26 September 2026, Khaldoon Al Mubarak, chairman of Manchester City, sent an open letter to fans to reassure them about the legal case that sees the club accused of 114 financial violations out of 115 contested by the Premier League for the period 2009‑2018, within an investigation that has shaken the entire management.

Almost total accusation

According to rumours spread by The Athletic, the club would have been found guilty of 114 of the 115 financial violations contested. Faced with these accusations, the club decided to come clean, publishing an official statement to address the issue directly.

Al Mubarak’s message

In his letter, Al Mubarak recalls: “I have been part of this club for 18 years. I have had the privilege of standing by your side at the Etihad, at Wembley and in Istanbul”. He goes on to explain that, due to the strict confidentiality of the legal proceedings, he cannot share the technical details of the defence: “There are so many things I wish I could share with you to help you understand why we are so confident in our position”.

The official notes

The chairman invites supporters to reread two official notes: the first, recently released, reiterates that the Premier League process remains ongoing with significant elements still to be completed; the second, dating back to February 2023, had welcomed the examination by an independent Commission to verify the evidence supporting the club’s compliance.
