Man City reject EPL’s financial breaches verdict, vow to appeal

Manchester City has rejected the findings of an independent Premier League Commission which found the club guilty of serious financial-rule breaches, vowing to pursue all available appeal avenues. The club described the opinion as "unsafe" and stated that it is innocent of the accusations made by the Premier League. The Commission found that City had breached financial rules between the 2009/10 and 2017/18 seasons, including through arrangements described as "sham" commercial agreements, which artificially inflated City's revenues and reduced its costs by more than £900m during the affected period.

City has vowed to challenge the findings through appropriate regulatory and legal channels, emphasizing that the Premier League process is not yet complete and confirming that it will pursue the appeal avenues available to it.
