Manchester City has been accused by the Premier League of breaching financial rules more than 100 times in the space of nine seasons.
The allegations against the reigning English champions relate to financial information relating to revenue, details of manager and player remuneration, UEFA regulations, profitability and sustainability and co-operation with Premier Leagues investigations.
A statement from the league said the alleged offenses took place between September 2009 and the 2017-18 season and will now be referred to an independent commission. It says the club is alleged to have breached league rules which require "the utmost good faith" of "accurate financial information which gives a true and fair view of the club's financial position".
If City are found guilty then they face a range of possible sanctions including a points deduction or even expulsion from the Premier League.
