The former chief investigator for UEFA has backed the Premier League's stunning charging of Manchester City with more than 100 breaches of league rules.
The Premier League announced on Monday that they had charged perennial champions City with alleged breaches across the last 14 years. Many of the alleged breaches relate to finances, with City now at risk of fines, points deductions and even expulsion if they are found guilty.
It comes three years after UEFA banned City from European competition for breaking Financial Fair Play rules. That ban was later overturned by the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS), leaving investigators led by Yves Leterme devastated.
