“If these charges against Manchester City are proven there should be appropriate punishment, and the only one is that they are dropped,” said the boss of one of the clubs.
A serious problem is haunting Manchester City this time, after it was confirmed that the Premier League itself has denounced the skyblue team for “a decade of abuse”. Yes, that’s it: for allegedly breaking FFP (Financial Fair Play) rules on at least 115 occasions!

“The club welcomes the review of this matter by an independent Commission to impartially consider the full body of incontrovertible evidence that exists in support of its position. As such, we hope that this matter will stop once and for all.”
