The Premier League charged City under Rule W.82.1 – the same rule that Everton are also alleged to have breached – although both clubs and have vowed to fight against any potential punishments.
Following a four-year investigation, the Premier League accused City of breaching rules requiring them to provide ‘accurate financial information that gives a true and fair view of the club’s financial position’.
