Manchester City Verdict
The Premier League have confirmed that Manchester City have been found guilty of all charges related to breaching financial rules.
The charges relate to breaches between the 2008/09 and 2017/18 seasons, with the club found guilty of breaching the Premier League's financial rules.
An independent commission found that the club had artificially inflated their revenues and reduced costs by more than £900 million during the time period mentioned.
The ruling also states that Manchester City committed multiple breaches of its duties of co-operation and utmost good faith towards the Premier League, and that they were in 'significant breach' of both the Premier League and UEFA's spending limits.
