  "account": "Manchester City have been found guilty on all but one of the 115 charges brought against them by the Premier League following a four-year probe into breaches of financial regulations. Allegedly, the breaches occurred between 2009 and 2018 and were denied by the club. The verdict was announced to the other 19 clubs on Thursday, though the club's position remains unchanged since February 2023. Possible punishments include a reprimand, fines, points deduction and expulsion. The club could face immediate or retrospective points deduction, which may strip them of past titles. The independent panel will likely announce its decision soon and impose the appropriate sanction, which could include a combination of penalties. Both the Premier League and City will have the opportunity to appeal within 14 days of the ruling, with a final decision expected after a review by a three-person commission. Unlike their previous UEFA financial fair-play (FFP) rule violation, this ruling cannot be appealed to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS).",
