Man City to appeal against Premier League guilty verdict over financial breaches

Manchester City have vowed to appeal against the Premier League’s verdict that they are guilty of breaching financial rules.

City said they were “disappointed and surprised” by the Premier League’s decision to find them guilty of breaking financial regulations between 2009 and 2018.

“Manchester City FC will now pursue the appeal avenues open to it, on the basis that the opinion contains clear material errors, of law, principle and fact, and is unsafe,” the club said in a statement.
