Manchester City has a deadline today to appeal after being found guilty of 114 breaches of Premier League financial rules.

Manchester City must submit an appeal against its guilty verdict on over 100 breaches of Premier League financial rules by the deadline today. The independent commission handed down the guilty verdict on Tuesday, finding the club guilty of 114 breaches.

The Football Association has confirmed it possesses powers to take disciplinary action against Manchester City and key individuals at the club. In its first public statement since the verdict, the FA said the independent commission's decision had 'significant implications for the integrity of the game' and that it 'will take action where appropriate'.

The FA indicated it will monitor the situation closely and assess what action to take once Manchester City's appeal process concludes, rather than acting immediately. The governing body stopped short of announcing charges but made clear it is considering its options.

Manchester City has responded to the verdict by claiming innocence. The club has characterised the guilty verdict as 'unsafe' and indicated it plans to mount a vigorous legal challenge through the appeal process. The club's response suggests it intends to contest the findings comprehensively.

The legal fallout from the case is widening beyond the Premier League proceedings. The Mirror Sport reports that an HMRC investigation and an £800 million bill are also part of the growing consequences for the club as the case develops through various regulatory channels.
