FA assesses possible sanctions after Manchester City found to have breached financial rules

An independent commission has ruled that Manchester City violated Premier League financial regulations, including presenting owner‑funded money as sponsorship revenue and underreporting costs over several seasons. The club said it will lodge an appeal before the filing deadline on Friday. The Football Association said it is reviewing the findings and will consider any necessary measures, though it will not comment further while the process continues. Potential penalties discussed include fines, points deductions or removal from the league, and former players and analysts have called for strong action.
