Manchester City found guilty on all charges by Premier League panel
An independent commission ruled Manchester City breached financial rules over nine seasons; the club says it is disappointed and will contest the verdict.
The Premier League has confirmed that an independent commission found Manchester City guilty on every charge relating to serious breaches of the division's financial rules, stretching back over nine seasons.
Manchester City replied within hours.
The club had already been told of the verdict in July, weeks before it became public. City spent £450m on new signings over the summer and broke their own transfer record twice in the process.
