  "account": "Manchester United Supporters Trust has accused Manchester City of \"industrialized cheating\" and called for the club to be expelled from soccer following 114 charges of breaching Premier League financial regulations. The club maintains their innocence and has not yet faced any punishment, though relegation, a points deduction, and a large fine are potential outcomes. The trust argues that Manchester City's owners have exploited the club, loaded it with debt, and cheated the system, making a severe penalty necessary. If the findings are upheld, the punishment should remove the advantage gained through cheating and question the club's ownership.",
  "summary": "After being found guilty of 114 of the 115 charges brought against them by the Premier League, Manchester City should be expelled from soccer, as far as the Manchester United Supporters Trust is concerned",
