Story summary

The Premier League confirms that Manchester City have been found guilty of all charges related to breaches of Premier League financial rules between 2009-10 and 2017-18.

📌 Key Highlights & Takeaways

  • The Premier League confirms that Manchester City have been found guilty of all charges related to breaches of Premier League financial rules between 2009-10 and 2017-18.

Manchester City arranged "sham contracts" with a number of its commercial partners as part of a scheme to disguise secret funding of more than £830m, the Premier League says.

The League confirmed that City have been found guilty of all charges related to breaches of Premier League financial rules between the 2009-10 and 2017-18 seasons.

An independent commission found that, during that time period, the club arranged the "sham contracts" as well as "relying on sham agreements to artificially inflate the club's revenues and reduce its costs".

The club continues to deny any wrongdoing and have until 2 October to submit an appeal.

News broke last week that City had been found guilty of breaking the majority of the 115 financial rules they were accused of breaching, but on Tuesday the Premier League published a redacted version of the commission's report.

The commission's report said the charges "concerned well over 100 alleged individual breaches of Premier League Rules across four broad charge categories".

It also found the club guilty of all charges except one relating to non-cooperation with the Premier League investigation and said that "a number of important Club witnesses gave false evidence in key respects and that some knowingly gave untrue and dishonest evidence".

The sham commercial deals were described as being part of a "disguised funding scheme" to the scale of £830.69m.
