英超独立委员会9月裁定曼城足球俱乐部在2009-2018年间违反财务规则，114项指控成立1。委员会认为曼城进行了"虚假"商业交易，涉及对手金融集团(ADUG)秘密融资，由ADUG支付部分赞助费用，相关证人作证时表现"不诚实"1。
这一裁决随即引发外交纠纷。阿联酋官员警告英国政府，此举将"影响双边国家关系"1，并威胁撤回对英国牛津剑桥科技中心的数十亿英镑投资1。曼城主席哈尔多恩·阿尔穆巴拉克在英超宣布裁决前两周曾与英国商业大臣乔纳森·雷诺兹会面，英国政界对此事的干预也引发了争议1。
An independent Premier League panel found Manchester City guilty of 114 financial regulation violations spanning 2009 to 2018 in September 2024, relating to false commercial sponsorship transactions.1 The committee determined that the club engaged in "false" business dealings, with witnesses providing "dishonest" testimony.1
Following the ruling, UAE officials warned that the Premier League's action could affect bilateral relations between the two nations and threatened to withdraw billions of pounds in planned investment from a UK technology hub modeled on Silicon Valley.1 The situation has drawn controversy over political involvement, particularly given that Manchester City's chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak met with British Business Secretary Jonathan Reynolds just two weeks before the Premier League announced its verdict.1 Manchester City had secretly financed rival financial group ADUG, with ADUG covering portions of sponsorship fees during the violation period.1
