After an investigation spanning four years that covered a period of 14 Premier League campaigns, Manchester City have been hit by more than 100 charges relating to alleged breaches of profit and sustainability regulations.
In an unprecedented move the Premier League outlined the findings of their initial investigation against the current champions on Monday, where charges dating back to the 2009/10 campaign to the 2017/18 season were outlined alongside more recent alleged breaches relating to the investigation itself.
The investigation began following the 2018 publishing of leaked documents by German media outlet Der Spiegel that alleged Manchester City had repeatedly breached Financial Fair Play regulations through the inflating of sponsorship deals by leaning on simpatico relationship that existed in the MENA region with City owners since 2008, the Abu Dhabi based City Football Group, helmed by majority shareholder Sheikh Mansour.
