Manchester City were found guilty of serious breaches of the Premier League’s financial rules over a nine-season period between 2009 and 2018, the league confirmed on Tuesday. An independent commission ruled the club arranged “sham contracts” with commercial partners and players to artificially inflate revenues by more than £900 million and reduce costs, while filing inaccurate accounts to conceal the true state of its finances .

The commission also found City guilty of three of four charges related to failing to cooperate with the investigation. Premier League chief executive Richard Masters called the case “the most significant in Premier League history” .

Manchester City said it was “disappointed and surprised” by the decision and would appeal by Friday’s deadline, arguing the ruling contained “clear material errors of law, principle and fact” . Chief executive Ferran Soriano told staff in a video that the verdict was based on a “Premier League conspiracy theory” .

The club was charged in February 2023 following a four-year investigation triggered by the 2018 *Football Leaks* disclosures. A separate sanctions hearing will determine penalties, which could include a points deduction or expulsion from the league .
