Noel Gallagher expressed shock and sadness over Manchester City's guilty verdict for most of the financial breaches they faced from the Premier League. Speaking on a podcast, he admitted to feeling surprised by the news despite the club’s previous denials, but maintained that achievements on the pitch should be respected separately from off-field issues. The article highlights Gallagher’s continued support for the players and fans while acknowledging potential skepticism from other English football supporters regarding City's past successes.

Story summary
Manchester City has been found guilty of almost all (114 out of 115) charges related to breaching Premier League financial regulations, according to reports by The Athletic. The charges stem from an investigation that began in February 2023 and cover a period from 2009 to 2018. City has yet to confirm the verdict but maintains its case is still ongoing.
The offenses include providing inaccurate financial information, failing to disclose player and manager payments accurately, breaching UEFA’s financial fair play rules, and non-cooperation with Premier League investigations. The club faces potential punishments ranging from significant points deductions to suspension from competitions.
City plans to appeal the decision, which could extend legal proceedings for several months. Liverpool's Jurgen Klopp has previously welcomed any ruling that would see his team awarded a title if City’s three titles (2012-13, 2014-15, and 2017-18) are stripped due to the breaches. However, no sanctions have been finalized yet. The saga began in November 2018 when German outlet Der Spiegel published emails suggesting City had covered up true sources of income to comply with financial regulations. UEFA and the Premier League launched investigations shortly after these revelations.
