Manchester City found guilty. of serious breaches of Premier League financial rule๐คฏ
โAn independent commission ruled they systematically broke Premier League financial rules from 2009/10 to 2017/18.โ
โThey used sham commercial contracts to hide owner funding, inflate reported revenues, and cut reported costs by more than ยฃ900 million.โ
โThey filed false accounts and hid the real numbers from auditors and regulators. They smashed both Premier League and UEFA spending limits. They also failed to cooperate with the investigation on most of the related charges.โ
โSanctions come later in a separate hearing. Options include a heavy fine, points deduction, title stripping, or worse. City have until 2 October to appeal and have already said they will.โ
โThis is the official verdict, not a rumour. The club is not โdoneโ until the appeal and sanction stages finish, but the finding of guilt on the core financial charges is now confirmed.โ
