WorldBBCManchester City: FA says guilty verdict has "significant implications for integrity of the game"
Manchester City have been found guilty of all charges relating to breaches of Premier League financial rules across nearly a decade, with the FA warning of significant implications for the game.
The independent commission's verdict against Manchester City has "significant implications for the integrity of the game", according to the Football Association.
An independent commission found Manchester City guilty of all charges relating to breaches of Premier League financial regulations between 2009-10 and 2017-18.
The panel found City arranged sham contracts to disguise secret funding of more than £830 million, which the Premier League says broke its rules for nearly a decade.
City have until Friday to lodge an appeal, and sources say they are expected to argue key sponsorship deals were funded by the Abu Dhabi government rather than club owners.
