The verdict from an independent commission represents a major development in the long running case against the reigning champions, which has been hanging over the club since charges were brought in 2023.
According to reports, City were found guilty on all but one of the 115 charges.
However, the case is far from over. Sanctions have not yet been decided, with all possibilities still open, while Manchester City are expected to appeal the verdict.
The News Chronicle reports that the Premier League charges followed a four year investigation into alleged financial and regulatory breaches covering several seasons. City have consistently denied the allegations and maintained that they have acted within the rules.
The club has also stressed that the wider process remains ongoing, with significant elements still subject to confidentiality.
The reported verdict could now open the next major chapter of the saga, as attention turns to the punishment and City’s expected appeal.
