Man City found guilty of breaking financial rules - sources

Manchester City has been found guilty of violating the majority of 115 financial rules, according to sources speaking to BBC Sport. The independent panel has reached its decision, yet the sanctions have not been officially determined. They found the club guilty of all but one of the counts. City has not commented on the matter, only releasing a statement that the Premier League process is ongoing with significant elements still to be completed, and everything is subject to strict confidentiality.

The club has respected due process for eight years, believing the Premier League board and executive would act as an independent, impartial and fair-minded regulator. BBC Sport has also been informed that City will likely appeal the findings if found guilty. Other Premier League clubs have reportedly been notified of the panel's decision.
