Pep Guardiola's part were constantly late for kick-offs and refreshes over the past two months
Manchester City have accepted a fine of £2 million or more for constantly breaking a well-known Premier League rule over the past two years.
Rule L. 33 of the Premier League states:" Any Club which without good reason causes to be delayed either the kick-off of a League Match from the time fixed or the re-start after the half-time interval shall be dealt with under the provisions of Section W ( Disciplinary ) of these Rules".
The Premier League issued a warning for Manchester City in the first instance, a 78 next pause in the second half against Crystal Palace in August 2022, after the Premier League discovered that the city had delayed kick-offs in 22 matches over the 2022/23 and 2023/24 conditions.
In a span of 23 games, Manchester City were soon on the area.
The team have then been hit with a series of steadily increasing fines for subsequent vulnerabilities, from £10, 000 for the next crime and £200, 000 for their most current.
With kick-off and second-half reset times missing 18 times in the last two years, City have been especially late in starting the next sides of games. Aside to Newcastle United in January, City were soon out for both sides.
The longest and most new delays occurred when City won the title-winning game against West Ham United on the last day of last year when City were two minutes and 46 seconds late to begin a game that had to begin immediately after all nine different Premier League games that day. In the end, it was irrelevant because City won the game and did n't let Arsenal take the lead.
City accepted the intrusions, apologised, and will give a good numbering £2, 090, 000 to the Premier League.
Other regulations that can see Premier League clubs fined include: failing to submit their teamsheet at least 75 minutes before the scheduled kick-off timefailing to send a coach to a briefing with the referee at least an hour before kick-offfailing to allocate a unique squad number to each player and register that with the leaguefailing to ensure people ' names and numbers are printed plainly and in the right areas on tops ( and statistics on short ), an in the right size and stylefailing to ensure the goalkeeper wears a distinct color and shirt and socksfailing to ensure the captain wears a league-provided armbandfailing to pay transfer costs on routine
