Manchester City appeals guilty verdict on £830m Premier League financial breaches

An independent commission has found Manchester City guilty of all charges for breaking the Premier League's financial rules, inflating sponsorship deals by £830m.

• Manchester City has denied the accusations, said the ruling contains material errors, and filed an appeal.
• City will argue in its appeal that sponsor payments came from the Abu Dhabi government as a shareholder.
• Lawyer James Severn said City must prove a material error of law, principle or fact that affected the commission's decision.
• Professor Kieran Maguire said the commission found the club's documents "were retrofitted to fit the crime."
