Man City found guilty of majority of 115 financial rule breaches
Manchester City was found guilty of most of the 115 financial charges, raising questions about penalties.
Manchester City has been found guilty of breaking financial rules. The verdict could change English football.
The club faced 115 charges and was convicted of the majority of them. The conviction immediately raised questions about what punishments might come next.
Former Tottenham and Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino told the Guardian the scandal had caused lasting damage to sports. "If it's true, we've lived through a period of deception," he said.
"Sporting fairness didn't exist. How do you repair everything that was damaged because of that?"
Pochettino said no punishment could undo the harm already done. City's chairman said on Saturday he remains confident of proving the club's innocence.
