> Manchester City face more than 100 Premier League financial charges. An independent commission said the club used sham contracts, questionable sponsorships and off-book agreements to inflate revenue by about £900 million and lower costs over several seasons. City deny wrongdoing and plan to appeal, while the case could affect past titles and the Premier League’s competitive landscape.
