Guardian Sport@guardian_sport Manchester City face substantial sanctions from the Premier League after an independent panel found they had acted in bad faith and broken numerous rules over financial fair play. The Premier League did not issue a statement but sources confirmed to the Guardian that City had been found guilty on almost all of more than 100 charges. City are surprised at the timing of the news because they say the process is ongoing. It is understood the club intend to appeal against a guilty verdict, confident of winning. A verdict has been reached more than three and a half years after 134 charges, which cover the seasons 2009-10 to 2022-23, were brought by the Premier League and more than two years since arbitration hearings began. From season 2009-10 to 2022-23 inclusive City won seven Premier League titles, a Champions League, three FA Cups and six League Cups.

@frederico.ribeiro.313 Nothing will happen.
@wozzablog Remove all titles and relegate them
@kevtherevthomas1 I wouldn’t care if they went down were it not for the fact it’s hands the title on a plate to Arsenal. And we all know they are lucky and have all the officials on their side as it is.
@t4tonka Absolutely nothing will happen to them

@j.duvalx They stole the working-class game and turned it into an oligarch playground. Capital ruins everything it touches.
