Premier League charges

The Premier League has confirmed that Manchester City were found guilty of all charges related to breaches of its financial rules between 2009-10 and 2017-18. An independent commission found the club used "sham" contracts and disguised payments to artificially inflate revenues and reduce costs, with reported figures ranging around £830m to £900m. Manchester City will appeal the verdict before a Friday deadline. Possible sanctions, including relegation, have been reported but not confirmed.
