> Manchester City have reportedly been found guilty on 114 of 115 Premier League financial-rule charges covering 2009 to 2018. The allegations include financial reporting, payments to players and managers, and cooperation with investigators; City denies them all. Germany’s 50+1 ownership rule is presented as a safeguard against comparable systemic abuses.
