The Premier League has published its findings in the long-running case involving Manchester City’s 115 charges, detailing allegations that the club used “sham contracts” and “disguised funding schemes” involving commercial partners to artificially inflate revenues and reduce costs.

Manchester City have consistently denied any wrongdoing and maintain that the charges are unfounded. The club has until 2 October to appeal the verdict.

Gary Lineker, Alan Shearer and Micah Richards discuss the latest revelations, what the verdict actually says, the significance of the findings around Manchester City’s commercial arrangements, and what could happen next.

It's not an opinion if an independent committee gave their verdict after a due process.

These owners have never been told “no” in their lives. That’s why they’re not apologising.

The reputational damage to the City brand is permanent.

The victims here is not City or their fans, it is all the other clubs and their fans.

Dear Micah, the problem is that some of these players might not be in that dressing room if everything had been done the right way.

@olananataly 1 day ago

Micah still has not fully accepted the situation, which is sad, and I do not blame him.

If the owners are so certain they did no wrong, why did they make it so hard for the investigators to do their job ? 🤔

"The people who really suffer are the fans" yeah, the fans of all the other clubs that got cheated.

I feel particularly strongly about this as an Arsenal fan who watched in horror as half our team was bought by City, dismantling any chance we had of winning for years. Wenger complained about it for years but it took a hacker for something to get done.

My opinion is throw them out the league and make them reapply to join League Two.

Ban the owners from owning a football club in the UK (actually any sports club) and then pass the files to the police to investigate fraud.

This is a classic case of letting an industry regulate itself and you end up with something like the Grenfell Tower disaster.

Nobody talking about the fans of other clubs, having their day out at Wembley, spending their own money, leaving disappointed because they were beaten by team that shouldn't exist

If you rob a bank and found guilty you dont get to keep the money, just sayin.

50 point deduction for every season they cheated

A reminder that the amount £900m is only until 2018. There's 8 more years to 2026. It's much much more.

As a Liverpool supporter I don’t care about the titles being reassigned, but they absolutely need to be stripped.

@harryharrison2010 1 day ago

They need to get an investigation started from 2019 - present. They have never thought they have done anything wrong. So they have obviously been doing it till this very day. Paying £240m for Anderson and Enzo proves they are paying way over their means.
