Manchester City found guilty of all Premier League financial-rule charges

Sky Sports News reports that the Premier League said an independent commission found Manchester City guilty of all charges related to serious breaches of its financial rules. BBC Sport says the charges covered 2009-10 through 2017-18. Sky News says the league accused City of using “sham” contracts to inflate revenues and cut costs by £900m. City intends to appeal, according to Sky Sports News; reporter Mike Keegan says CEO Ferran Soriano told staff the case rests on a “single false accusation.”
