Manchester City have been charged by the Premier League with breaching financial rules over 100 times from 2009-18 - leading to calls for the club's achievements in that time to be airbrushed from history.
English top flight chiefs allege that City, who won three Premier League titles during that period, broke a series of regulations in relation to revenue, details of manager and player remuneration, UEFA rules, profitability and sustainability and co-operation with Premier League investigations.
The club maintain their innocence and expressed their 'surprise' at the charges in a statement on Monday, with the matter now set to be referred to an independent commission.
