Man City found guilty of all charges of serious financial rule breaches: Premier League

The Premier League said on Tuesday that Manchester City have been found guilty of serious breaches of the Premier League's financial rules over a nine-season period between 2009 and 2018. City were found to have arranged sham contracts with a number of commercial partners to artificially inflate the club's revenues, concealing the true state of their finances and avoiding breaches of Premier League's and UEFA's spending limits.
