👊 City CEO: we'll fight the charges | OneFootball

An independent commission ruled that Manchester City is guilty on 114 of the 115 charges brought by the Premier League after years of investigation into its accounts (2009–2018).

The verdict opens the door to severe sanctions ranging from relegation and a massive points deduction to the stripping of titles won during that decade. The decision has caused huge shockwaves in English football, where immediate appeals from both sides are being speculated about.
