(opens the publisher’s site)Manchester City has appealed an independent commission's ruling that it breached Premier League financial rules across nine seasons.
- The commission found City broke financial rules between 2009-10 and 2017-18, boosting income by more than £900m.
- City said the verdict contains "clear material errors, of law, principle and fact" and that the club is innocent of the accusations.
- Kyle Walker said the players' trophies cannot be taken away and called the verdict difficult for former City players to discuss.
- Sanctions have not yet been set; the Premier League said punishment will be determined in a separate phase.
- Senior figures in English football fear Manchester City could still qualify for next season's Champions League as titleholders even if relegated.
- There is no automatic mechanism to remove the club from the tournament if it wins it despite being found guilty of financial breaches.
- The independent commission cleared Manchester City of one of the 115 allegations and found the club guilty on the remaining 114.
