Manchester City have been charged by the Premier League after they released a statement on Monday surrounding a number of financial breaches. It comes after an investigation into the six-time champions spanning four years has finally posted their findings.
Manchester City offered a response to the allegations, claiming in a statement: "Manchester City FC is surprised by the issuing of these alleged breaches of the Premier League Rules, particularly given the extensive engagement and vast amount of detailed materials that the EPL has been provided with.
"The Club welcomes the review of this matter by an independent Commission, to impartially consider the comprehensive body of irrefutable evidence that exists in support of its position. As such we look forward to this matter being put to rest once and for all."
