Manchester City face an anxious wait to discover their fate after the Premier League confirmed their guilty verdict on Tuesday. The bombshell news, initially reported over the weekend, was officially announced in a lengthy statement.
Sham contracts and secret funding
Among other things, the statement revealed that City arranged "sham" contracts with commercial partners as part of a scheme to disguise over £830million in secret funding. The club have continued to deny any wrongdoing, insisting they have a body of "irrefutable evidence" that will see their guilty verdict overturned on appeal.
Potential punishments
However, if that verdict is upheld, City will face a range of potential punishments. They could be fined, docked points, expelled from the Premier League or even have their domestic titles voided.
