What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

An independent commission found Manchester City guilty of over 100 breaches of Premier League financial regulations, ruling the club used sham commercial agreements to inflate revenues and conceal more than £900 million in costs between 2009 and 2018. Separately, an investigation found that Labour politicians accepted nearly £300,000 worth of gifts and hospitality from the United Arab Emirates and Manchester City. This hospitality included luxury trips, flights, and VIP tickets.
