Manchester City's appeal against the 114 Premier League financial rule breaches they have been found guilty of continues, with fresh developments emerging including a dressing room leak, a warning from Andy Burnham and a response from Kyle Walker.
The independent panel confirmed the club used 'sham' sponsorship deals to artificially inflate revenue by nearly £900 million between 2009 and 2018. City strongly deny the charges and have lodged an appeal.
Possible sanctions if appeal fails
If the appeal is unsuccessful, sanctions could range from a significant fine to substantial points deductions or even expulsion from the Premier League.
Comments from the agent of goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma indicate City players have received 'reassurances' from the club over the situation. The full squad meets for the first time since the verdict today.
Maresca to face media
Manager Enzo Maresca will address the media for the first time on Friday in his pre-match press conference ahead of Sunday's Premier League clash against Liverpool at Anfield. The press conference is expected to be dominated by the guilty verdict.
