It is the latest development running in the background behind Manchester City’s strong showings on the football pitch, as Enzo Maresca’s side continue to lead the Premier League table by a three-point margin with seven wins from a possible seven.
City have managed to emerge from a troublesome international break with a 0-3 win over Liverpool and a 3-2 home win over Ipswich Town, weeks after the club were found guilty by an independent commission of all charges relating to breaches of the Premier League’s financial regulations between the 2009/10 and 2017/18 seasons.
Those findings also included the notion that Manchester City had artificially inflated their financial position by more than £900 million, with club officials now in the process of appealing the verdict and defending their ‘irrefutable evidence’.
The same independent commission also found that City had given a “misleading impression” of the scheme used to disguise the origin of shareholder funds to its auditors, who were “unaware” of the scheme.
