Manchester City has been found guilty of breaking Premier League financial rules following an independent commission's ruling. The commission determined that the club arranged "sham" contracts with commercial partners as part of the violations.
As a consequence of being found guilty of virtually all charges brought against them, Manchester City is facing substantial financial penalties and could be forced to pay the Premier League up to £50 million in legal costs and compensation. Meanwhile, the club continues to deny any wrongdoing, characterizing the accusations as a "conspiracy theory," while former player Micah Richards expressed being "devastated" by the verdict.
