Manchester City fined $4m for 22 delayed kick-offs

Manchester City have been fined $4.11 million by the Premier League for 22 instances of delaying the kick-off or restart of matches.

The champions have accepted the sanction, which relates to rule infringements over the past two seasons, the league have confirmed.

The issue is unconnected to the 115 charges City are facing for alleged breaches of the competition’s financial regulations.

A statement from the Premier League read: “The Premier League and Manchester City FC have entered into a sanction agreement after the club accepted it had breached Premier League Rule L.33 relating to kick-off and restart obligations.”

City have been punished on a sliding scale for each offence at their Etihad Stadium.

Their first, a delay of 1 minute and 18 seconds to the start of the second half against Crystal Palace in August 2022, incurred a warning.

Fines ranging from $20,000 to $393,000 have then been imposed for each subsequent breach. The longest delay was 2 minutes 46 seconds for the start of the final game of the season against West Ham last season, when City clinched a fourth successive title.

The statement added: “Rules relating to kick-offs and restarts help ensure the organisation of the competition is set at the highest possible professional standard and provides certainty to fans and participating clubs.

“It also ensures the broadcast of all 380 League matches around the world is kept to schedule.”

City have not commented directly but the ruling stated: “The club has apologised for the accepted breaches … and confirmed that it has reminded the club’s players and football management teams of their responsibilities in complying with Rule L.33.”
