An independent commission found Manchester City guilty of numerous financial rule breaches. The club faces potential sanctions and plans to appeal.
An independent commission found Manchester City Football Club guilty of numerous financial rule breaches spanning nine seasons. The club allegedly used "sham" deals to inflate revenues and reduce costs, accumulating over £900 million in discrepancies. The Premier League confirmed the verdict, which could lead to significant sanctions.
This verdict arrives after years of scrutiny and accusations against the club, which is owned by an Abu Dhabi royal. The potential penalties range from points deductions to expulsion from the league, a consequence that would reshape English football's competitive landscape. The club has stated its intention to appeal the findings.
