Manchester City found guilty of 114 financial breaches

Summarised from 3 outlets · 39 reports · Updated 2 Oct, 13:03 · Archive

Manchester City were found guilty of breaching 114 of 115 Premier League financial charges following an investigation into the club's conduct.

Prime Minister Andy Burnham defended Manchester City over the charges, stating it would be wrong to leap to judgment about the club. He expressed confidence that his own dealings with City while he was mayor of Greater Manchester stand up to scrutiny.

Manchester City is working to appeal the verdict and has indicated it possesses evidence to clear its name. The club faces potential consequences including possible relegation or expulsion from the Premier League, though two senior executives at rival clubs told the Manchester Evening News they would be 'staggered' if 15 clubs voted to expel the team from the top flight. The Manchester Evening News also reported that City players could rip up their contracts if the guilty verdict stands after appeal.
