  "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 is set to appeal the ruling, with SABC News reporting that they have always denied any wrongdoing. According to The Citizen, no sanction has yet been decided.\n\nThe case has been ongoing for over three years and has raised questions about financial regulation and competitive integrity in English football. If confirmed, the guilty verdict would represent one of the most significant rulings in English football history.",
