Manchester City have been referred to an independent commission by the Premier League over alleged breaches of its financial rules.

“This confirmation is made in accordance with Premier League Rule W.82.1. Under Premier League Rule W.82.2, the Commission’s final award will be published on the Premier League’s website. The second set of alleged breaches also refers to requirements for a club to include full details of player remuneration within the relevant contracts, for the seasons 2010-11 to 2015-16 inclusive.

Manchester City have been charged by the Premier League over breaking financial rules across nine seasons.

Last season, City won their sixth Premier League title since their takeover in 2008. In their verdict clearing City, CAS ruled that much of the evidence had fallen outside of a five-year time limit. Roberto Mancini managed the club to a league title in 2011-12 before a Manuel Pellegrini-led City side won the league in 2013-14. A Premier League statement read: "In accordance with Premier League Rule W.82.1, the Premier League confirms that it has today referred a number of alleged breaches of the Premier League Rules by Manchester City Football Club to a Commission under Premier League Rule W.3.4." City have been charged with more than 100 breaches of rules that required the club, according to the Premier League, to provide "accurate financial information that gives a true and fair view of the club's financial position." The Premier League confirmed that a number of alleged breaches between the 2009-10 and 2017-18 seasons have been referred to an independent commission with the conclusion of a four-year investigation.

The Premier League released a statement alleging that Manchester City have broken a number of their financial rules following a four-year investigation.

Manchester City have been referred to an independent commission by the Premier League over alleged breaches of its financial rules.

The value of their squad is estimated to be more than £1bn and the club sits at the heart of a global network of 12 football teams. The financial charges brought against Manchester City cover the period 2009-2018, and those requiring a club to “cooperate with, and assist, the Premier League in its investigations” extend from 2018 to this season. As such we look forward to this matter being put to rest once and for all.” Documents also suggested that the City manager City have reshaped football since they were taken over by a private equity group controlled by the royal family of Abu Dhabi in 2008. Those sanctions are listed in the Premier League’s handbook but a commission is clear to apply any punishment it considers appropriate.

'Haaland is a top, top striker if you look at his movement in the box. You hear stories about strikers complaining all the time. He may have actually picked the wrong club to actually get the best out of him. 'Haaland will still score 25 league goals and a lot of those are coming across and he's putting it in.
