The Premier League said on September 29 that Manchester City have been found guilty of serious breaches of the Premier League's financial rules over a nine-season period. An independent commission found the Abu Dhabi-backed club arranged "sham" contracts with a number of commercial partners to artificially inflate its revenues and reduce costs by more than £900 million ($1.2 billion) between 2009 and 2018.
