Gary Lineker has called on Manchester City to “own” and “accept whatever punishment” they are given for the “good of the game”.
City have been accused of breaking financial rules between 2009-10 and 2017-18. An independent commission concluded that more than £830m of owner funding was used to inflate revenues and enable the club to comply with Premier League and Uefa regulations through a series of “sham” arrangements. The club have protested their innocence and appealed.
