An independent commission has found Manchester City guilty of breaching Premier League financial rules by utilizing "sham" commercial contracts and schemes to inflate revenue and distort club finances. The verdict could result in significant punishments affecting past and future title races, European qualification, and the distribution of tens of millions of pounds in prize money.
In response to the ruling, Manchester City CEO Ferran Soriano dismissed the verdict as an "unsafe" "conspiracy theory." Soriano announced that the club's legal team is taking action to appeal the decision, expressing confidence that Manchester City will ultimately be vindicated.
