Man City charges: How Premier League reacted – United, Arsenal, Liverpool

Manchester City have been found guilty of more than 100 breaches of the Premier League's financial rules covering the period between 2009 and 2018, according to an independent commission's verdict. The club has denied wrongdoing and lodged an appeal against the decision, but potential punishments if the verdict is upheld include points deductions, fines, transfer embargoes, and relegation. As Premier League action resumes following the international break — with City travelling to Liverpool on Sunday, 9 October 2026 — rival managers from clubs including Manchester United, Arsenal, and Liverpool have shared their reactions to the ruling.
