MIKE KEEGAN:
Manchester City cooked the books to the tune of £900m in a nine-year period peppered with 'sham' deals during which they became the major force in
English football‚ a commission has found. In a damning 40-page verdict
City‚ who won eight trophies during the spell involved‚ artificially inflated sponsorship agreements and pumped money into the club from its
Abu Dhabi owners via disguised payments in a bid to swerve
Premier League spending rules. The eight-times champions were found guilty of 'all charges related to serious breaches' of the regulations and the majority of those in relation to its
failure to co-operate with the competition's probe.
