  "summary": "Manchester City have been found guilty of 114 out of 115 Premier League charges for financial breaches, according to reports. The charges relate to alleged breaches of financial regulations between 2009 and 2018, including failing to provide accurate financial information and details of payments to players and coaches, as well as breaches of financial sustainability rules.\n\nThe club, which is owned by Sheikh Mansour's Abu Dhabi United Group, has always denied any wrongdoing and is set to appeal the ruling. According to SABC News, Manchester City said in a statement that the Premier League process remains ongoing and that they have \"diligently respected due process for eight years\".\n\nThe outcome of the case could have significant implications for English football, with some describing it as one of the most significant rulings in the sport's history. No sanction has yet been decided, and the Premier League has declined to comment on the matter, citing confidentiality.",
