The Premier League have charged Manchester City with dozens of breaches of financial rules. It follows a four-year investigation into the club's financial status, and the charges in total date from the 2009/10 season to this season.
City are alleged to have breached league rules requiring provision “in utmost good faith” of “accurate financial information that gives a true and fair view of the club’s financial position”. The league says the accurate financial information required related to “revenue (including sponsorship revenue), its related parties and its operating costs”.
Some of the alleged breaches are related to rules which require clubs to co-operate and assist the Premier League with their investigations.
