Man City FFP: Commission 'corruption' concerns emerge amid Premier League cloak and dagger

Premier League champions face fresh UEFA investigation

Manchester City are facing a fresh UEFA investigation over alleged breaches of Financial Fair Play (FFP) regulations, with the commission said to have concerns about "corruption".

The investigation comes after the Premier League champions were charged by the Premier League with more than 100 alleged breaches of financial rules.

UEFA is now investigating whether City have breached FFP rules, which are designed to prevent clubs from spending more money than they earn.

UEFA 'corruption' concerns

The commission is said to be particularly concerned about allegations that City have inflated sponsorship deals in order to meet FFP requirements.

These allegations have been made by German magazine Der Spiegel, which has published a series of leaked emails that appear to show City officials discussing how to get around FFP rules.

UEFA is now investigating whether these allegations are true, and whether they constitute a breach of FFP regulations.

Premier League cloak and dagger

The Premier League is also investigating City for alleged breaches of its financial rules.

The league has charged City with more than 100 alleged breaches of its financial rules, including failing to provide accurate financial information and failing to cooperate with the league's investigation.

City have denied the charges, and the case is now being heard by an independent commission.

What next for City?

If City are found guilty of breaching FFP regulations, they could face a range of punishments, including a fine, a transfer ban, or even expulsion from the Champions League.

The club could also face further punishment from the Premier League if it is found guilty of breaching its financial rules.

The outcome of the investigations could have a significant impact on City's future, both on and off the pitch.
