# Soccer: Manchester City have lodged an appeal against an independent commission’s finding that the club breached Premier League financial rules. The commission found City guilty of serious financial breaches over nine seasons, from 2009 to 2018, including using “sham” commercial contracts and misstating accounts. The Premier League says the club also breached its duty to cooperate with the investigation. City deny the accusations and say the ruling contains clear errors of law, principle and fact. The club says it has evidence supporting its position and will continue to pursue the appeal.
