Man City charges LIVE: Premier League rivals 'plan legal action after guilty verdict' - latest news and updates

The fallout continues from seismic decision that has rocked English football

Manchester City have reportedly been found guilty of the majority of the 115 charges levelled against them by the Premier League over alleged breaches of their financial rules between 2009 and 2018. The seismic ruling by a three-person independent commission has not yet been made public, but was first reported on Friday by The Athletic, who said that City had been found guilty on all but one charge 22 months after the hearing concluded and three-and-a-half years since they were first charged.

City - who deny all charges against them - are expected to appeal the verdict. The club said in a statement on Friday that the confidential process remains “ongoing”, with “significant elements to be completed”. It is said that no decision has yet been made on potential sanctions, with a range of options believed to be on the table, including a possible huge fine, points deduction, transfer ban or even the stripping of titles and trophies, relegation or expulsion from the Premier League, who have not commented on the situation at this stage.

The latest reports claim that a number of other top-flight clubs are also now seeking legal advice over potential compensation claims. Follow all the latest fallout from this huge story that has rocked the foundations of English football with Standard Sport below.
